Newcastle United have completed the signing of young goalkeeper Otto Huuhtanen from Finnish club FC Ilves.
The 16-year-old, who was born in Tampere, Finland, arrives at United's Little Benton Academy having undertaken a week-long trial last July.
And the teenager will link up with Dave Watson's Magpies Under-18 squad.
Huuhtanen has been playing for Ilves' under-19 side in his homeland, and he has also been capped by Finland at under-17 level.
