So the deal is done - Jamal Lewis became Norwich City’s first major exit of the summer transfer window with the left-back signing a five-year deal at Newcastle United.

Will miss Jamal but this is a good move for him and good money for #ncfc. Go well, kiddo. https://t.co/iOcJXLcVvh

Thanks for everything Jamal. The first one of our fab five to leave but the one I'm most comfortable losing . Go smash it #ncfc

I'd feel better about Lewis leaving if Byram was fully fit #ncfc

Good luck Jamal, been a pleasure watching you #ncfc
Look after him #nufc, got yourself a decent player there. https://t.co/HEgipL08Ie

We will take very good care of him, we know how much you rate him, and us toon fans can't wait to see him in action... all the very best this season, good luck in your promotion back to the big league... many thanks #NCFC #NUFC #JamalLewis

Hopefully Jamal will be one of only two or three big departures now. His Chelsea goal was the start of Norwich's success under Farke. #NCFC https://t.co/QzDgb1z0ya

Sad to see him go but its decent money & the youngster I'm least concerned about #NCFC losing.

He needs to work on his crossing but #NUFC have got their hands on a very good left back. https://t.co/BNLyrecgZg

Lewis will be fondly remembered as one of Daniel Farke’s first fledglings to break through into the first team under his tenure and the majority of fans wish the 22-year-old well on his move to Tyneside, which will net the Canaries £15m plus add-ons.

The twinge of sadness I'm feeling right now has left me in little doubt of the emotional trauma that would follow Emi being sold this window. #ncfc

Wish jamal Lewis all the best at Newcastle, never forget how good he was for us in our title winning season #ncfc

In general not that gutted at this! Byram was a better player at LB last season a shame but decent money hopefully means other won't go! Good luck Lewis #ncfc #nufc https://t.co/VrZStn9Yds

Goodbye Jamal and thank you. This guy has a big upside and will go on to bigger and better things imo. A good move for all parties #nufc #ncfc https://t.co/nR4QoyXVSs

Genuinely wish Jamal all the best at #nufc and beyond. Played a key role in one of my favourite seasons watching #ncfc. Still only 22 years old, could still improve a hell of a lot.

Having said that, £15million represents very good business for us too.

Congrats and good luck Jamal! We will miss you but won't forget the memories! #otbc #ncfc @NUFC take care of him, he is a great prospect! I know the toon army will enjoy his talents for years to come!
