Newcastle United and Wales' striker Craig Bellamy is hopeful that manager Sir Bobby Robson can land Barcelona star Patrick Kluivert at St James' Park.

Writing in the Sunday People, Bellamy said: "This is a club going places - and I am proud of that. Being linked with Patrick Kluivert is further evidence of that.

"When you are a player, you want the best at your club - even if it is someone in your position. Kluivert is world class, simple as that.

"We already have some pretty good strikers, including the No9 who knows a bit about scoring goals. Imagine Alan Shearer and Kluivert together ... now that would be something explosive. Hang on, I'd better get fit again quickly!

"It will be a great coup for Newcastle if Kluivert does come here. And it will be one hell of an incentive to get over my injury."
