Newcastle chiefs head to Holland for De Jong talks

NEWCASTLE UNITED chiefs are in Holland today discussing a move for Luuk De Jong.

 United have already bid once at £8million but appear ready to increase that offer with a trip to the Netherlands a signal of intent. 

 As reported earlier this month, United are concerned over their striking options ahead of the new season - not least with the possibility of Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse potentially taking part in the African Cup of Nations in January. 

 United - have also stepped up their bid for Mathieu Debuchy with fees for the defender and De Jong believed to be slapped in today.
