Blues ace arrives
Newcastle United, 12:50, January 29, 2010 ,
Newcastle have moved into the transfer market to sign Chelsea defender Patrick van Aanholt on a one-month loan deal.
The 19-year-old has yet to make the breakthrough at Stamford Bridge after arriving from PSV Eindhoven and boss Carlo Ancelotti has decided to send him out on loan again.
The Holland under-21 star had been on loan with Coventry earlier in the season and that is when he first caught the eye of Magpies boss Chris Hughton, who is delighted to have landed his man.
"I certainly liked what I saw that night," he told the club's official website. "I've also heard a lot of good things about him and he is a player who is very highly thought of at Chelsea.
"The move was, of course, a reaction to Jose Enrique's injury but we're very excited about having Patrick with us. He will give us energy and it's a good chance to have a look at him over the next month."
