Davide Santon: Inter Milan re-sign Newcastle defender on loan

Davide Santon played under Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan

Newcastle United defender Davide Santon has rejoined Italian club Inter Milan on loan for the rest of the season.

The Serie A side have an option to buy the 24-year-old Italian at the end of the campaign.

Left-back Santon joined the Magpies from Inter in August 2011 and has made 94 appearances for the club.

He missed the start of the season with a knee injury, with competition from Paul Dummett and Massadio Haidara then relegating him to a fringe role.
