"Yes, there are teams in Spain interested in me, but I won't go. The only reason I will leave Newcastle is to go to London.
"It hasn't been an easy decision, but this is part of life.

"Sam Allardyce is a great man - I have spoken to him and he said he will not stop me if I need to go.

"Being at Newcastle United is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I would love them to win something whether I am here or not."
