Newcastle, Manchester United and AC Milan target, James Beattie has once again insisted that he has no reason to move away from Southampton and will not be looking for a Summer move. James Beattie has yet again insisted that he will not be seeking a move away from Southampton in the summer. The England international target for Newcastle United - a £12M target that is!

Beattie has also been linked with AC Milan and Manchester United.

"I signed a contract extension earlier in the season that takes me through to the summer of 2006, and I see no reason to leave." he said.

"Of course if the club decide they want to sell me there is nothing I can do. And if there is any interest in me in the summer it would be flattering, but that is not for me to talk about.

"The fact is I am enjoying myself very much at Southampton.

"I believe we can win the FA Cup. We played Arsenal at St Mary's earlier in the season and beat them. We had a certain game plan that we stuck to, and I am sure we will have another game plan to stick to at Cardiff."
