Tim Krul makes Ajax debut…”There is light at the end of the tunnel…and now to play in a stadium once again, beautiful.”

Marc Overmars laughs off the chances of a bargain move for Siem de Jong – the Newcastle midfielder who is currently out injured yet again.

Tim Krul “Good to get my first 90 minutes. Friendly game, clean sheet. Hard work continues.”

The next stage of recovery for Tim Krul is complete, the on-loan Newcastle keeper playing a friendly for Ajax on Thursday afternoon.

Tim Krul moves on loan to Ajax and ties himself to Newcastle until June 2018 according to the Dutch media this morning.

Barcelona are set to trigger a transfer for Tim Krul, with the signing of Jasper Cillessen setting in motion a move of his own for the Newcastle keeper.

Siem de Jong interview “Rafael Benitez has said he sees a future for me at the club but feels that I need matches at a level to judge me…I had given Ajax the first option. Now I hope to get started at PSV.”

Siem de Jong and Jan Vertonghen were just two to make the pilgrimage back to Ajax to pay tribute to Johan Cruyff.

Newcastle may have found the solution to a major quality shortage at left-back, with reports from Holland that they are watching Mitchell Dijks of Ajax, ahead of a potential summer move.

Newcastle United have been linked with a January move for Dutch international Anwar El Ghazi, currently in great form for Ajax.
