His goal off the bench against Swansea City in April proved exactly what Siem de Jong could be capable of in the Premier League - but he just didn't feature regularly enough due to injury, making just two starts all season.

Steve McClaren has spoken highly of him in the past and he would to be able to label De Jong as "like a new signing", should the attacking-midfielder play week-in, week-out..
