The 24-year-old told the club's official website: "I felt the time was right for me to move and the club have shown they really want me, so I'm very happy to be here.

"There's a few players here who are from Holland - I know them well and they will help me feel at home in Newcastle.

"I know the club has a great stadium with great fans. I want to play here as soon as possible - I want to feel the atmosphere and hear the crowd. I cannot wait to get started."

Wijnaldum departs PSV having scored 56 goals in 152 appearances in all competitions.
