Toon To Sign Pieters On Tuesday?

Some newspaper report today that PSV Eindhoven defender Erik Pieters will head to Tyneside for a medical on Tuesday. Coach Fred Rutten admits PSV are resigned to losing their key defender. Fred Rutten: "I would lie in the road to stop him leaving but I fear I cannot block his transfer to Newcastle. "He is a brilliant defender; but, if it is right for him and the club, I cannot say no."
