FC Twente coach Steve McClaren feels Luuk de Jong can thrive in the Premier League.

Liverpool and Newcastle United are chasing the Dutch striker.

McClaren said: "Luuk is an 'English style' striker, made for English football. I am just desperate to keep him one more year in Holland. But I realise that will be difficult.

"Luuk is big, strong, brilliant in the air and scores goals so easily. He has every quality a top class striker needs to have for a big club."
