I'm sure Charles N'Zogbia would have a say in that, but then again, the French kid still insists he is more a midfielder than defender.

Krol claims Newcastle are in a race with Atalanta to secure his services, although there sure to be more in the hunt now it is common knowledge he is after a move away from the Bernabeu.

The young Pole is behind Gabriel Heinze and Brazilian Marcelo, and that is indeed a tough nut to crack.

The Sunday Sun quotes Krol as saying: "I have some offers, and the latest have come from Newcastle and Atalanta.

"The Premiership is the best league in the world. Moreover, I'd be a first-team player at Newcastle."
