Nigel de Jong has put pen to paper on a new three-year-deal at AC Milan.

The defensive midfielder, who has made 81 appearances for the Netherlands, signed for AC Milan from Manchester City in 2012.

De Jong, 30, has been the subject of constant speculation regarding a return to the Premier League with Manchester United among those reported to be interested.

His current contract was due to expire at the end of June, with Schalke and Ajax also said to be considering a move for the Dutchman, but he has committed his future to the Italians until June 2018.
