Kinnear "delighted" with de Jong deal

Newcastle United's Director of Football Joe Kinnear has said the club are "delighted" after completing a loan deal for Dutch striker Luuk de Jong.

Kinnear said:

"We're delighted to bring Luuk de Jong to the Club.

"He has an excellent pedigree and will add significantly to our striking options.

"We've been watching him for a little while now and I am sure he will prove to be a valuable acquisition for us.

"He's a great character and a proven goalscorer who I know is very keen to replicate the prolific form he showed for FC Twente in the Eredivisie."
