# Saints chase Dutch forward

Southampton have been linked to another [Dutchman](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/11/12/report-southampton-eyeing-newcastle-united-flop-luuk-de-jong/?) as PSV striker Luuk De Jong has been rumoured as a possible target for Ronald Koeman in either January or next summer.

The 25-year-old forward has already played in the Premier League as he had a short loan spell for Newcastle, making 12 appearances and scoring no goals. However, after his loan in Tyneside, he has hit form with PSV in the Dutch league. He has scored an impressive tally of 30 goals in just 43 games; showing the ability that his early potential promised.

He came to light when he scored 39 goals in 76 games for FC Twente, earning him a move to the Bundesliga, yet, just 6 goals in 36 games ended up seeing him loaned to Newcastle and then sold to PSV, where he is currently on top form.

Would De Jong be a good signing for Ronald Koeman’s Saints?
