One chance created in draw
Gonzalez recorded no stats in Saturday's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Gonzalez played 77 minutes as part of Newcastle's defensive midfield before being replaced by Sean Steur, registering zero clearances and zero tackles in what was a difficult afternoon against Bournemouth's pressing structure. He was unable to provide the defensive cover Newcastle needed in a first half where Bournemouth dominated and scored twice, and was replaced as manager Jaissle sought more defensive solidity in the final stages. Gonzalez has started two of Newcastle's three Premier League fixtures, contributing three chances created, one interception and one block.
Signs with Newcastle
Gonzalez has completed a transfer to Newcastle from Manchester City, according to his new club.
Analysis: Gonzalez has been in transfer rumors for the past few weeks and is on his way out of City after two seasons, joining Newcastle as he remains in the Premier League. This comes as a solid signing for Newcastle, with Gonzalez showing some great flashes of play with City filling in for Rodri after his ACL injury. He will add some competition for minutes in the midfield as he should fight for a starting role. He will play more of a deep-lying role, so his defensive work rates will likely be higher than any attacking output.
