PSV chase misfit Luque

Newcastle United striker Albert Luque could end his nightmare spell on Tyneside by moving to Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven this month.
The 28-year-old Spain international moved to St James' Park from Deportivo La Coruna for £9million 18 months ago, but has failed to impress during his time in England.
Luque has failed to start a Premiership match for the Magpies this term and has frequently spoken of his desire to end his disastrous spell in the north-east and return to Spain.
However, he could now be heading for Holland, with a source quoted in the Newcastle Chronicle as saying: "PSV's interest in Luque has really come out of the blue, but (manager) Ronald Koeman is convinced he can get the best out of him.
"PSV have informed United of their interest and the player is also aware of the situation. Now the ball is very much in Newcastle's court."
