Newcastle United's summer signing sensation Hugo Viana is hoping he will settle straight into his new home with a little help from his mum.

The Potuguese teenager believes he will have no trouble settling in due to some home comforts in the shape of his mum's cooking.

United Boss Bobby Robson linked up with his new star at training yesterday safe in the knowledge that the 19-year-old will certainly not be home sick.

Viana signed for the Toon Army from Portuguese giant Sporting Lisbon as is rated by many as the best young player in the world.

The U-21 International scored in Portugals's European Championship victory over England in Zurich in May and was a member of his nation's World Cup squad.

And he believes he can continue his winning form for United with some home cooking.

He said: "The thing I am going to miss about Portugal is the food and that's why I have brought my mother across with me.

"The rest of my family will be coming over later - but my mother will be making sure I settle in."

Viana jetted into Newcastle from Oporto a little anxious about the new season ahead.

He said: "I know the responsibility I am taking in representing a club like Newcastle United and to tell the truth I will be a bit anxious to begin with.

"But having said that, I am confident I will not disappoint anyone at St James's Park. I have confidence in my ability, otherwise I would never have signed for club like this.

"When I agreed to join Newcastle I knew that I would be playing for one of the best teams in England and in the best league in Europe and that I would be working with Sir Bobby Robson.

"Of course Sir Bobby is well known and respected in Portugal after his success with both Porto and my old club Sporting Lisbon.

"I am sure I will learn quite a bit from him and develop into the player he expects me to be."
