Daryl Janmaat to join Newcastle

Dutch defender Daryl Janmaat is set to join Newcastle and sign a six year contract at St James' Park. The versatile Dutch defender has been chased by the Toon Army for most of the summer.

According to numerous blogs, Janmaat is flying in to England to talk with club representatives and manager Alan Pardew. 

Newcastle are hoping to bring Janmaat in as a replacement for Mathieu Debuchy, who is still expected to quit St James' in favour of a move to London club Arsenal.
