Newcastle United Football Club want to tie up a deal for Luuk de Jong this week.

The Magpies know there is every chance they will lose Demba Ba this summer, as the Senegal international carries a release clause of just £7million.

Alan Pardew will be determined to ensure he replaces the former West Ham United striker with more quality, and he has set his sights on Twente star de Jong.

The 21-year-old is part of Holland’s squad at Euro 2012, and the United boss wants to wrap up a £10million deal before the youngster gets chance to impress in Poland and Ukraine.
