Former Newcastle striker netted for PSV last night.
PSV Eindhoven were rescued by a late goal from Luuk De Jong in their Champions League clash with Spurs.
De Jong scored from close range to salvage a 2-2 draw shortly after Hugo Lloris was sent off.
It was a goal poacher’s finish which was sorely lacking during his time in the Premier League.
De Jong had a loan spell with Newcastle United in 2014.
He played 12 games and failed to score, and Newcastle decided not to do a deal.
Former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp told BT Sport that the Toon may have made a mistake by not taking a gamble.
Speaking after last night’s draw, Redknapp said: “He’s a good player this De Jong. Newcastle should have kept him.”
With Newcastle choosing not to pursue a permanent move, De Jong left Borussia Moenchengladbach for PSV and he has been there ever since.
He has since scored 89 goals for the club since, which include nine in 14 games this season.
Newcastle could certainly do with a striker like him on their books right now.
