Newspaper Headline: Fernandes finally announced

This headline is taken from the Independent (Thursday January 30th 2019) and refers to the transfer of Portuguese midfield international Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon to Manchester United. This three-word headline simply explains that the player has signed for the Premier League – the adverb ‘finally‘ suggests that the story around the transfer has taken quite a long time to finish; indeed, it looked as if he would join the cub last summer! The verb ‘announce‘ is quite a common phrase at this time of year as fans want their clubs to make it public or official that they have signed a new player. The full explanation of this three-word headline would be something like: ‘It has been announced that Portuguese player Bruno Fernandes has finally signed for Manchester United’ – Fernandes finally announced.
