French outfit Dijon have confirmed the permanent signing of Romain Amalfitano from Newcastle United.
The 24-year-old joined Dijon on a season-long loan from Newcastle last summer and was quick to impress, earning admiration from the Ligue 2 club.
And Dijon have wasted no time keeping Amalfitano permanently, signing him on a free transfer from Newcastle and tying him to a three-year deal.
"After regaining his physical fitness in the first six months, Romain then proved he could be valuable in organising the game and at set pieces", Dijon president Olivier Delcourt told the club's site.
"He is a smart player and he fits in perfectly with the squad", he added.
