Newcastle United's Jose Enrique has told nufc.co.uk that he is disappointed at how the UK press have taken a few sentences from a Spanish interview he did, and published them completely out of context. The tabloids have been running a series of stories this week implying that Enrique wants out of Newcastle seeking Champions League football, based on the translation of his interview.

The comments were mistranslated as;

“It is flattering that Liverpool are interested. I’ve also heard that Manchester United and Aston Villa have asked about me.

They are both big teams and I’m not closing the door on anyone. I’m ambitious and want to play in the Champions League. I want to win things. I’m OK at Newcastle but I aspire to more.”

He told Nufc.co.uk;

 "I had a good chat with a Spanish journalist about how things were going this season. I told him we're having a good season and how I've been enjoying the games, playing well and focussing on the good year I am having at the club. We are ambitious and, like all the players here, we want to play at the highest level we can.

Newcastle is a great club with some excellent players and I hope we can kick on and continue to progress.

From this interview, two or three lines have now appeared in the English papers, and because they are totally out of context with the rest of the interview, I am very disappointed at being portrayed in this manner.

The position with my contract has always been clear and both myself and the manager have talked about it openly.

I would like to ensure that we have secured Premier League status for next season before we discuss a new deal. It is natural for me, as it is for every player, to want to play at the top level."
