Report: Daryl Janmaat close to Newcastle United move

Newcastle United are reportedly close to completing the signing of Feyenoord defender Daryl Janmaat.

The two clubs are said to have agreed a £5m fee for the 24-year-old, who will now undergo a medical on Tyneside.

The Magpies are expected to allow right-back Mathieu Debuchy to join Arsenal this week, and it appears that Alan Pardew has already lined up a replacement for the Frenchman.

According to the Sunderland Echo, Janmaat has agreed a six-year contract with Newcastle.

The Netherlands international featured in five of his country's seven fixtures at the World Cup in Brazil.
