PSV coach Rutten says Pieters on way to Newcastle

PSV Eindhoven coach Fred Rutten is ready to sell Erik Pieters to Newcastle United.

Rutten reluctantly cleared the way for Pieters to join Newcastle for £6million to replace Jose Enrique.

"I would lie in the road to stop him leaving but I fear I cannot block his transfer to Newcastle," said Rutten.

"He is a brilliant defender, but, if it is right for him and the club, I cannot say no."
