Newcastle complete Vurnon Anita deal"He is an exceptionally talented footballer with great technical ability, which is exactly what I'm looking at in a player. And, at 23-years-old, we hope his best years are at Newcastle.
"He has come through the Ajax youth system which is world renowned for bringing up players the right way, and I am sure he will fit seamlessly into the squad of players we have here.
"Vurnon has done his pre-season, and indeed already played one competitive game, so he's up to speed and ready to play when I need him."
Anita, 23, has won three senior caps for his country having played for Netherlands at various youth levels, but was not part of their squad for Euro 2012.
He came through the academy set-up at Dutch giants Ajax and made his first-team debut in the 2005-06 season, winning the title in both 2010 and 2011.
"I won almost everything in Holland so the step was not difficult to make," he said. "Now I think we can also win trophies with Newcastle and it's time to do that.
"In the Premier League especially, every game is tough so it can help me also to grow in my football skills.
"I talked to the manager and the coach and they know that I want to play in a defensive midfield place and that's why they brought me here.
"But I can play at left-back or right-back, so that's also no problem."
Newcastle have already signed Romain Amalfitano, Curtis Good and Gael Bigirimana this summer.
