 Kluivert struggled to win a place in the Newcastle team |
Holland striker Patrick Kluivert has been given the go-ahead to sign for Valencia after proving his fitness. The 28-year-old's move had been in doubt when Valencia expressed concerns over his left knee after a medical but those fears have now been allayed.
"The player has passed the exam he was subjected to. Patrick, after signing his deal, will be unveiled next Monday," said a Valencia statement.
Kluivert was released by Newcastle after a disappointing spell in England.
He started only 14 Premiership games for the Magpies, scoring six times.
Newcastle rejected the opportunity to take up the option for a second year on his contract, leaving the former Ajax and AC Milan striker free to leave.
