The France Under 18 international arrives at St James' Park on a free transfer after rejecting Sochaux's offer of a contract.
Moyo had been linked with moves to Manchester United, Ajax and Bordeaux, but Newcastle have won the race to sign the midfielder.
The 18-year-old, who has signed a four-year deal on Tyneside, was named as a substitute during Newcastle reserves' 2-1 win over Wolves on Monday night.
Moyo is expected to stay in the club's reserves so that he can continue his education under the gaze of Peter Beardsley and Steve Stone before pushing for a spot in Chris Hughton's first team.
Hughton admits Moyo is very much one for the future.
"He's very much one for the future. He's a lad who came on trial and showed enough to earn himself a contract," Hughton said.
"It will benefit him working with our development group and it is something that we will continue to do.
"We are looking at France as a very good market to pick up players - as many other clubs are - but it is not just there.
"We are casting our net much wider but it is all positive for the future of the club."
