Feyenoord Go Direct To Newcastle To Bypass Chelsea Bid!

But today we can confirm Krul has been the subject of an official bid from the Dutch giants, who obviously wan to miss out "the middle man".

The Magpies are said to be looking to loan the Dutchman out this season, just as they did last campaign when he spent a season at Falkirk.

The stopper is contracted until 2012, but even though Krul is just 20, there is strong interest in him over in Holland.
