Earlier this month, Spurs manager Jose Mourinho played down reports of a training ground row with Rose after the full back was left out of the goalless draw against Watford.

Bruce said he was pleased to secure a deal for Rose to boost their defence, which has conceded 36 goals in 24 matches.

“It’s been clear we’ve needed some help in the left back position, so we’re absolutely delighted to get a player of Danny’s calibre through the door,” Bruce said.

“He’s proven quality, as he’s shown over several years for club and country, and is a class act. It’s a big coup for us to get him here and we’re looking forward to working with him.”

Rose could make his Newcastle debut in Saturday’s home game against bottom-placed Norwich City.
