Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew hopes to wrap up their deal for Borussia Monchengladbach striker Luuk de Jong today.

The Dutchman is on Tyneside this morning.

After their draw with Norwich City, Pardew said: "We hope Luuk de Jong will have a medical tomorrow and will come on loan. He's a player we really liked when he was in Holland. He scored a lot of goals. And went to Germany, where it didn't quite happen for him. So it's a second opportunity."
