Championship Newcastle forward Siem De Jong has joined Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven on a season-long loan.

The 27-year-old has only managed 26 appearances, just seven of them starts, during an injury-plagued two years in the north east.

Siem de Jong told PSV's official website: "I am very happy to have signed for PSV."

On playing with his brother, he added: "I can't wait. I am fit and could join the squad for full training.

"I will try to find my rhythm the next few weeks. It's great to join a club that takes part in the UEFA Champions League and wants to retain the Dutch title.

"I am really grateful PSV have offered me this opportunity."
