Patrick van Aanholt: "Newcastle are a massive club, I've enjoyed my time.
"Newcastle are top of the league, they've got a brilliant team and I think they will win the league.
"I think they like me, I've played six games, and when I go out in town people recognise me.
"When my family was here, I went out for dinner with them and people came up to me, and I was like 'that's what happens here'.
"They love football over here, 24-7, and it's good."
