Newcastle target Ajax De Jong

Daily Mail reports that Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is looking to bring Ajax skipper Siem de Jong to the St James’ Park.

Currently the 23-year-old playmaker is considered one of the best midfield prospects in Europe. Despite his relatively young age De Jong expertly pulls the strings bossing the midfield and dictating the pace of the game. That is why his capture will undoubtedly excite the fans and show Newcastle ambition.

The Magpies are ready to table £9 million bid for De Jong who can be equally effective in midfield and attack. De Jong has made 18 appearances and scored 7 goals this season.
