The 25-year-old is available on a free transfer this summer, and is understood to be interested in a move to St James’s Park, according to sources in Holland.

Captain Fabricio Coloccini and Steven Taylor are the first-choice pairing in the centre of defence, and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa and Mike Williamson are in reserve.
