He hasn't ruled a move to Anfield - he hasn't ruled out a return to Spain either - but perhaps a couple of big-name signings could keep him at St James' Park.

Jose Enrique: "Liverpool is a big club but I am not negotiating with them at the moment. 

"My dream is to play for the Spain national side and I think that I have a chance.

"I have improved as a footballer since my arrival to England. The Premier League is more competitive than La Liga and I have not received offers to return to Spain.

"The referees in England are not so strict on the field because they permit more action.

"Newcastle now needs to buy many players if the club want to be among the best in the Premier League."
