and the fans are a big part of that.
There will be pressure here, for sure,
but I like pressure," said Mitrovic.
"I also know about the famous players
who have played for Newcastle
United, like Alan Shearer, who is a
hero of mine. I hope I can play like
him for this club. It will be an
honour."
Mitrovic scored 36 league goals in his
two years in Belgium, including 20
last season to be the league's top
scorer.
He cost the Belgian club £4.3m when
they signed him from Partizan
Belgrade two years ago.
Mitrovic, who was also a reported
target for Chelsea, scored an injury-
time equaliser in the Champions
League against Arsenal last season.
"He's moved from Partizan Belgrade
to Anderlecht, he has had to adapt to
a new league, and will do so again,"
McClaren told BBC Newcastle.
"He's got experience of Belgian
football, experience of the Champions
League and international football, just
breaking into the scene.
"We just want to get the boy training
and in our team."
