Newcastle's Netherlands international forward Siem de Jong has joined PSV Eindhoven on a season-long loan deal.

The 27-year-old signed a six-year deal with the Magpies in the summer of 2014, having been acquired from Ajax.

However, his time at the club has been marred by a series of injury problems and he has only made 26 appearances, including just seven starts.

Approaching full fitness again now after picking up a hamstring injury in pre-season, he will link up at Eindhoven with his brother Luuk de Jong, who once had a loan spell with Newcastle.

Luuk de Jong spoke to the Dutch media over the weekend about his brother's imminent arrival and said: "It's a good opportunity for him to show himself again at the highest level.
