Finally the Fat Lady Sing, the official club has announced the signing of Ben Tozer to Newcastle United this morning, in a four-and-a-half year contract. Tozer is the club first official January transfer signing and the rumours out there still have numerous names to follow him this month.

“I was called into the manager’s office three or four weeks ago and he said that the club had accepted an offer from Newcastle,” Tozer told as quoted from the official site, “I could not believe it and straight away I said that I could not turn the offer down.”

“Newcastle is a massive club with great fans, it’s a lovely place with nice people and I can’t wait to get started.” He added more, “I’ve spoken with Sam Allardyce, he’s great manager and I’m looking forward to working with him.”

Yeah right, we are lovely and nice supporters Ben, but it is only if you can make us to do so. There’re bunch of Toon new signings who said exactly like you did today, but only little of them who really can win our heart, I hope you are one of those very few players in Black-and-Whites.

By the way, the heritage’s celebrity look-alikes said you are 70% similar to Beckham and I hope they’re right about it, not just in face but your skills too

Tozer, born in Plymouth and began his career as a youth player at his local club Plymouth Argyle. His former coach at Argyle, David Byrne, persuaded his family to allow Ben to join him at Swindon Town.

He is later signed for Swindon in the summer of 2007 alongside fellow Argyle youngster Ben Joyce.

Made a surprise full debut for Swindon on August 14 in the Carling Cup match with Charlton and granted the other seven appearance in Town’s first team before having a trial with Everton.

“It’s been a brilliant experience at Swindon and I thank them for what they’ve done for me but I’m looking forward to the future.”

This is the end of any speculations and finally the ‘Fat Lady Sings’. Newcastle will pay League One club Swindon Town an initial transfer fee of £250,000 for his services. Tozer will be Sam Allardyce second secret signings after securing the transfer of Wesley Ngo Baheng from Le Havre in October.

The Plymouth born left-back Ben Tozer who is just turn 17 this year will signed for Newcastle on additional fees depending on appearance £1,1 milions in January. Big Sam rated him as the future of Newcastle United and will assigned him immediately until the end of the season on loan.

Allardyce reputation on his ability to scout foreign players as well as any youngsters who are available is now on the test at Tyneside. He has brought in the likes of Jay Jay Okocha, Tal Ben Haim into the English Premier League. Under his guidance, young Kevin Nolan made it to the full England squad while Nicky Hunt was Under 21s regular.

On the summer he has signed Brazilian Cacapa from Olympique Lyon and he has been quite good addition to United’s defence. Bobby Moncur hails him as the one that Newcastle United been looking for and believe his ability and experience will bring a new dimension.

In the case of Ben Tozer’s potential to hit big for United, only time will tell as he is still a teenager, although many believe that there were at least three other Premier League clubs also looking to sign him, Portsmouth, Everton and the other one (Newcastle?). He spents couple of weeks with the Blues from Merseyside on trial and David Moyes reported being impressed to come in with a bid.

Sam Allardyce decision to loan him is a good one to make him ready for some “pressure” he never been imagine before when playing for a team like Newcastle. Allardyce hinted a player like Tozer can continue to improve that way. The word from some of Swindon’s supporter saying that there isn’t any doubt that Tozer will make it.

Welcome to the club Tozer! I hope you will become as good as the press told about you. Still plenty of months will come to indicate how far away you will doing good for the Mighty Magpies. There’s not an easy way but if you can handle it, you will have the heaven on earth while playing infront of the Toon Army.

This is still not officially confirmed yet, but if you want to have a laugh at me, go ahead. According to Chronicle Allardyce’s renowned backroom staff will work on Tozer, and the young defender will have to undergo a series of fitness and other tests before he actually signs.

With Everton and Portsmouth reporting to have the same interest for this 17 years-old full back who can play as left and central defender, Tozer being rated as the most talented prospect in this country.

Maybe yes, maybe not. I think the deal so far was only on the paper as a pre-contract not a permanent switch as the transfer windows still not open yet.

Big Sam speaks for the first time about the speculations on Chronicle today and mark him as obviously one for the future.

“And yes, there is a possibility Ben will be allowed to go out on loan. But first we want him to stay here for two or three weeks so that we can look and him and he can look at us.”

Ben Tozer has only played one handful of game for the Swindon Town first-team this season, and will not be considered for first-team action by Sam Allardyce. United gaffer still hopes to land Manchester United Wes Brown on loan deal next month.
