Georginio Wijnaldum: "I can make the fans happy"

Newcastle United's new signing Georginio Wijnaldum has suggested that his fighting spirit and ability to score goals can "make the fans happy".

The Netherlands international completed a £14.5m transfer from PSV Eindhoven on Saturday and is aiming to make a big impact at St James' Park.

He is quoted by the Northern Echo as saying: "I'm feeling great because when I came to the club everyone was really kind, beautiful people and I'm already feeling at home.

"I have a lot of confidence that I can make the fans happy and that's what I want to do. I think I can bring goals and passion also, as I work hard and always want to do my best.

"Even if it looks like we're not going to win I always try to find a solution to win games. I'm a fighter."

Wijnaldum has won 19 caps for the Netherlands and was part of Louis van Gaal's squad which finished third at the World Cup last summer.
