Jose Enrique wants to stay at Newcastle even though the club has plans to sell him.

Spaniard happy at St James' Park

Jose Enrique insists he will remain a Newcastle player even if the club has plans to sell him. The full-back's future at St James' Park has been the subject of speculation for some time with Enrique failing to live up to expectations since his arrival from Villarreal last summer. Reports have suggested Newcastle could be prepared to offload the Spain U21 international in the January transfer window as they look to bring in a new left-back. Enrique, however, has no plans to quit St James' Park and says he is committed to helping pull Newcastle away from the relegation zone. "I want to complete my contract," Enrique told Marca. "It doesn't bother me if they want to get rid of me. "I have still got a few years left and I want to play an important part in getting the team back to where it deserves to be.

Happy

"I am very happy here. I like the city. The fans are 10 out of 10. "A club with a history like Newcastle's should not be so low in the table. "It's killing me that Newcastle are having such a bad season. The fans don't deserve this and I think we are going to be able to get out of this situation. We are only in November and anything can happen. "We would all like to get into Europe but it's not going to happen."
