Netherlands right-back Daryl Janmaat has joined Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee from Feyenoord.The 24-year-old, who has won 21 caps, becomes manager Alan Pardew's fifth signing of the summer.Janmaat underwent a medical at St James' Park on Tuesday and arrives as a replacement for Mathieu Debuchy, who has completed his move to Arsenal.
"Daryl had an excellent World Cup and we're looking forward to him continuing that form for Newcastle," said Pardew.
Janmaat made five appearances at the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil, where the Dutch finished in third place.
Pardew added: "He is the perfect example of a modern full-back.
"He is someone who is good defensively but offers a real threat going forward as well."
Janmaat made 63 appearances for Feyenoord over the past two seasons.
"This is the perfect club for me and I am looking forward to being with the team and getting started here."
He is the latest man to join Pardew's squad following the arrivals of France midfielder Remy Cabella, Siem de Jong, Jack Colback and Ayoze Perez.

Newcastle's ?6m Janmaat bid rejected by Feyenoord 
Feyenoord have rejected an opening bid of ?6 million from Newcastle United for Netherlands international Daryl Janmaat, Goal understands. The 24-year-old right-back has been on the Magpies' radar for several months
and the impending departure of Mathieu Debuchy to Arsenal has prompted them to step up their interest.
But their opening offer is some way short of Feyenoord's own valuation of ?11m. However, the
club still hope to broker a deal for less than ?10m given their policy of paying fees in full; the Magpies often get reductions in the overall price given how rare it is in football that all fees are paid up front.
Despite their move for Janmaat, Newcastle still have an interest in Manchester City's Micah Richards, who can also play in central defence.
The north-east club, who have already successfully landed Ayoze Perez, Jack Colback and Siem De Jong,
hope to have deals for Janmaat and their current top transfer target Remy Cabella sealed within the next week.
Newcastle recently lodged a bid worth around ?12m for the Montpellier and France midfielder, having failed to sign him in January and prior to the World Cup.
