Bruno Guimaraes says Newcastle United can become a "big power in world football".
The Brazilian midfielder swapped Lyon for Newcastle last month in a deal worth £35m.
"This is a club that is going to be a big power in world football," Guimaraes said.
"This is an historic club with a great tradition and a beautiful history, I have no doubts about my decision to come to Newcastle."
Guimaraes added that club did not shirk their current plight, with Eddie Howe's side currently sitting 19th but just one point from safety.
"They were very up front and honest about it," he said. "They didn't disguise that the main objective and challenge was remaining in the Premier League this season.
"But in the seasons coming, the objective is to be in the Champions League and eventually to win the Champions League."
