Emerton's agent is not ruling out a move for him to St James' Park. He has dismissed recent reports from Feyenoord suggesting that Newcastle were not one of three Premiership clubs due to seal Emerton's signature. Brett Emerton's agent is not going to dismiss a possible move for the player to St James' Park.

Weekend reports suggested that Newcastle are out of the running for the Aussie star, but Emerton's agent has dismissed them.

Feyenoord claimed that three Premiership clubs were in the race for the star, and Newcastle were not one of them.

But agent Simon Konstantinidis insists his client has not yet held talks with any club.

"The move is supposed to be finalised very soon and Brett is aware of that, but he has not been in any talks yet," he said.

"It's up to Feyenoord to reach an agreement then Brett will talk."

"Although Brett is desperate to play in the Premiership, it's got to be a club which will definitely enhance his career."
