Newcastle transfer news: Daryl Janmaat signs £7m Watford deal after Tim Krul leaves for Ajax on season-long loan

RAFA BENITEZ has rubber-stamped Newcastle exits for both Daryl Janmaat and Tim Krul.

Keeper Krul will join Ajax in his homeland on a season-long loan while fellow Dutchman Janmaat has joined Watford for £7million.

Krul, 28, has been out for ten months with a cruciate knee ligament injury but is now close to returning to action.

And after Benitez shelled out £5m to bag Belgian keeper Matz Sels from Gent over the summer, it has left the Toon boss with five keepers.

Krul – who has been at Toon for ten years – is the man to make way in order to get minutes under his belt with Ajax in need of a keeper after selling Jasper Cillessen to Barcelona, following Claudio Bravo’s move to Manchester City.

Right-back Jamaat has also departed the Tyneside club for a Premier League return with the Hornets.

The 27-year-old 27-cap Netherlands man passed his medical at Watford’s London Colney training ground this morning after the two clubs agreed a fee last night.

Tottenham’s USA international full-back DeAndre Yedlin will replace him for £5m.

Henri Saivet also left Toon today who, along with Aston Villa’s £8m misfit Jordan Veretout, joined Saint-Etienne on a season-long loan.

Reserve keeper Rob Elliot signed a one-year contract extension yesterday, as talks for Brentford playmaker Alan Judge continued.
