16 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Georginio Wijnaldum

3. His Half-Brother Is Wolverhampton Wanderers Winger Rajiv Van La Parra... And His Brother Is Also A Footballer

But that's not all - because Wijnaldum is a member of a footballing family, with both his brother and half-brother also being footballers. Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Rajiv van La Parra (pictured above) is his half-brother, so at least Wijnaldum will have some family in England when he moves across - even if it is all the way down in the west Midlands. In addition, Wijnaldum's brother Giliano is a left-back for VfL Bochum in the German Bundesliga 2, having just moved from Dutch second division side Go Ahead Eagles this summer.
