Daryl Janmaat feels a fully fit Siem de Jong can help revive Newcastle United's season.

Janmaat is confident the impending return from injury of the likes of compatriot De Jong, Rolando Aarons and Gabriel Obertan can help to rekindle the campaign.

He said: "We have to try to reach as high as possible. For certain, we are looking to finish in the top half of the table. That's our main aim now.

"We have Siem to come back and other good players. It's nice to know. They can make us stronger."
