# Ten photos of Wijnaldum in action

Following confirmation of Newcastle’s signing of Dutch international Georginio Wijnaldum from PSV Eindhoven, we take a pictorial look back over his career so far.

First up, a snap of Georginio in action against Germany at the UEFA European Under-17 Championships in 2007.

Next, a photograph of Wijnaldum playing for his national side in an European Under-21 Championship Qualifying match against Finland. Newcastle’s Tim Krul, Daryl Janmaat and Siem de Jong also feature in this image.

Wijnaldum transfered to PSV Eindhoven in 2011, for €5million. He made his debut on the opening day of the 2011/12 season against AZ Alkmaar. Though it was a dream come true for the midfielder, PSV suffered a 3-1 defeat.

After making his debut for the Dutch national side on September 2011, Wijnaldum became a regular in the squad – though he failed to cement his spot in the starting line-up due to the likes of Wesley Sneijder competing for the same spots. Tim Krul is also appears on the far left of this image.
