Newcastle's Jonas Gutierrez links up with Norwich for remainder of season
JONAS GUTIERREZ has joined Norwich on a loan until the end of the season – but insisted it was not his decision to leave St James’ Park.
A £2million deal is in place for Argentina international Gutierrez to make a permanent switch to Carrow Road, where he will team up with former Newcastle boss Chris Hughton.
Gutierrez played almost 200 games for the Magpies after joining the club five and a half years ago, but has not started a game since the opening day of the season.
He said: “It wasn’t my decision to leave Newcastle and it was an honour to play for them.”
Hughton added: “Jonas has been in England for five years, so there won’t be that settling in period that you would have with some other players – and that is important.”
