Following recent rumours linking him with a move away from the club, Newcastle United and Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given has pledged his future to the club. The 'keeper has two years to run on his current deal, and has no plans to leave St James' Park. Speaking to the clubs official website, Shay Given said: "As far as I'm concerned, it's just a case of the press trying to sell papers.

"Lots of players get linked with other clubs but are still here.

"You expect it, it's part and parcel of football."

Meanwhile, recent rumours linking Newcastle United with a move for Argentine goalkeeper German Lux have been rejected by Toon boss Graeme Souness.
