Kuyt prefers Newcastle over Liverpool

Video Safari

Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt has delivered a snub to Liverpool, declaring he'd prefer a move to Newcastle United.

"I know quite a bit about Newcastle, they're one of the best supported teams in the Premier League and a typical English club," Kuyt is quoted as saying.
"I would consider a move to Liverpool - they're likely to progress to the Champions League group stages. I would love to play in that competition but my first choice is Newcastle."
And the Dutchman suggested the adoration he would receive at St James's Park had tilted him in that direction.
"I've always wanted to be a hero," he admitted.
"I know Feyenoord are asking a massive fee and I don't know if Newcastle are willing to match that."
