PSV Eindhoven secure loan deal for Newcastle United forward Siem de Jong

PSV Eindhoven have secured the season-long loan signing of Newcastle United forward Siem de Jong.

In 2014, the Dutchman left Ajax to move to St James' Park for £6m but in an injury-hit spell, he has made just seven starts for the Magpies.

He made four substitute appearances after the arrival of Rafael Benitez in March but the Spaniard has decided that the 27-year-old does not feature in his plans for the current campaign.

De Jong will hope to recapture the form that saw him become one of the highest-regarded players in the Eredivisie, with the Netherlands international scoring 57 times in 168 appearances during his time at Ajax.
