da doce: Cavaliering Newcastle full back Jose Enrique’s time at St James Park could well be nearing an end. Enrique, 25 has been linked with a host of top clubs after an array of fine performances so far this season for the Magpies.
da dobrowin: The former Villarreal man signed a 5 year deal with Newcastle in 2007 and it was rumoured he was waiting until Newcastle secured their top flight status before renewing it. However, Liverpool legend Phil Thompson has revealed on Norwegian television that a deal has been struck for the Spaniard to move to Anfield in the summer. The deal is thought to be in the region of £15 million.
“From what I’ve heard, yes, the deal has been done” Thompson told the TV2 presenter.
Thompson is a close friend of Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish, and in an assessment of Enrique he went on to say “He had a difficult first season coming into the Premiership a couple of years ago but he really understands the game now.”
“He’s one of those full-backs who is good going forward but he’s also a good defender and I think that is the main thing.” After showing their persistence in the capture of Andy Carroll, Enrique’s future looks ominous for Newcastle fans.
There has been no official word from Liverpool or Newcastle on the matter, but potentially losing one of their top performers will be a huge concern to Newcastle.
