Dutch striker “interested” in Newcastle move

Luuk de Jong open to Newcastle move
The agent of Luuk de Jong has said that his client would be interested in a move to Newcastle, providing his current club and United could come to an agreement over a fee.

De Jong seems to be the hot topic at the moment and most of the attention is focussed on the 21-year-old Netherlands striker. However as yet no deal has been agreed for the striker although rumours persist over the presence of bids from United.

Interest in De Jong is thought to be high and Newcastle will face competition for the signature of the highly-rated young striker. A full Netherlands international with an impressive scoring record in the Eredivisie, de Jong looks set for great things although it looks increasingly likely he will have to move away from FC Twente if he is to achieve them.

“I can only confirm that there has been interest from Newcastle in Luuk,” de Jong’s agent Louis Laros told the Journal.

“I know that Newcastle are following him, that is no secret, but a club must first agree a fee with FC Twente and so far this has not happened. I really don’t know what will happen next. It is not up to us at this moment, it is up to those clubs to show an interest and agree a financial deal with Twente.”

“They are not the only club that has shown an interest, there has been a lot of clubs from all over Europe. More than five or six – but that is normal for a player who has scored 25 goals in the Eredivisie and is in the national side.”

Laros is keen on making sure his client moves to the right club for the right reasons and insists that other clubs have been rebuffed in their approach for the striker already. However, perhaps tellingly, he also adds that Newcastle are one option that haven’t been turned away, yet.

“It has got to be the right club for Luuk, and a club that Luuk likes. He has already rejected several clubs who are interested because they are not the right move. I can confirm that Newcastle are not one of the clubs that he has rejected,” said Laros.

“He would be the perfect fit for the Premier League. He is only young and there is no doubt about his quality – no-one is debating that. Now the most important thing is to find the right club for Luuk, which is what we will do.”

I get the feeling that this one is just going to drag on before we see a resolution to it, although the good news is that the player himself is seemingly keen on a move to St James’ Park.

  5. Jay he was a decent fella always dandered about the estate talking to people when he was over, and used to supply the local kids footie team with stuff.
    I would like to see Benny get brought on to play alongside Cabaye, as at the min the frenchies don’t look like doing owt.

  8. Hate to judge debuchy playing out of position against the best team in the world but i will ……anythin over 5m and Lille can go and fk themselves

  9. If Carr see’s something in him and Pardew backs the decision, that’s good enough for me, if we judged Cisse on the ACON then he’d be ***** too

  10. MDS there is a lot of other top players at the Euros that if you were to judge them just on the Euros you wouldn’t be interested in taking them. I think international games are an odd thing some good players play well some just seem as if they’re not suited.

  11. MDS – Ok, judge him in his favoured position against Sweden and I’d still tell Lille to go **** themselves if they want more than £5m. He’s good going forward but defensively I’ve not seen a great deal to get overly excited about like.
    Infact there haven’t been any stand out right backs in tournament that I’ve seen.

  12. bloody doom mongerers, I remamber when there was a morale officer who would sort you lot out 🙂

  13. Lads I guess then what some are saying means that we fuked up by giving Carr a long term contract, because he must see something in him and lets face it I think Carr would know a lot more than any of us 😉 or maybe he has just been lucky so far 😆

  14. Dave clearly the club rates him at a certain fee, but we’ll see how much that fee is. its one tournament but he doesn’t look to be a 10m player for example

  15. Dave ,you got your tetchy head on tonight 😉 To be fair I think a lot of us our panicking that he might not be strong enough for the prem and it’s an awful lot of cash to waste at the fee they are asking .As you say Carr don’t often get it wrong though lets hope that’s the case should we sign him 😀

  16. oi you lot, don’t pick on dave, he’s too much of a chutney ferret to take care of himself 😆

  17. I think debuchys getting **** from because he’s being touted as our new rob. The french usually blame Ribery

  18. MDS ,they was all bad tonight ,they just didn’t turn up for what ever reason .France are not as bad as they played tonight ,it wasn’t fear it was apathy from the players imo.

  19. Jay you would know a lot about that 😉 I hear you were cuddling up to the ladyboy lover on the darkside 😀 you fuking gimp.

    No Kim i’m cool pet I just feel as if the Lad is getting the blame for frances **** performance, they were all *****. As for if I think he’s good enough TBH I dont really know as apart from the Euros I havn’t seen him play, but I can’t see Carr and Co wasting time on someone that wouldn’t suit us 😉
    As the Gimp above says in Carr we trust 😀

  21. Dave – not questioning Carrs scouting ability – questioning Lilles valuation of the player

  33. Ice I can handle my booze mind. But I had a few beers followed by 2 glasses of the stuff and I slept right through the pacquiao fight:). Good shine is no joke

  34. I have a theory regarding Debuchy 😎 , he is purposefully being **** at defending so that Lille will lower the price and other clubs will become less interested, forcing Lille to sell him to us, reuniting him with Yohan :mrgreen:
