Prior to the start of the season, when Newcastle United were widely tipped as a prime candidate for relegation straight back down to the Championship (primarily as a result of the immense instability that surrounds the club rather than simply a lack of quality or fighting spirit), you probably wouldn't have imagined it would be a safe bet that several of the top clubs in England would be clamouring for the signature of one or two of their players.
However, Andy Carroll has already proved that assumption entirely wrong, making a £35 million move to Liverpool during the January transfer window, and now Jose Enrique is doing his bit to prove the club's critics wrong. The Spanish defender has enjoyed a decent season at club level in the north-east and is thought to be on the radar of top European sides including Liverpool, Manchester United, and, perhaps surprisingly Milan.
With the player only seeming to improve with every passing game for the Magpies, he has been forced to come out and defend comments made by the defender that seemed to hint at a desire to leave the club.
At the age of 25, the time could be right for Enrique to move to a bigger club and seek a bigger challenge. The question is, would he want to? Get the latest transfer odds at Unibet.
