Newcastle United boss Steve McClaren has insisted that he is keen to keep club captain Fabricio Coloccini at the club beyond the summer.



The Argentina international has been a regular for the Magpies since his move from Deportivo La Coruna in 2008.

McClaren has now reiterated that he would like to keep hold of the 33-year-old, as he identifies him as a key member for his team next season.

When asked on Coloccini's future, the 54-year-old told reporters: "I don't see why not. He's got a year left on his contract.

"I've come in and they asked me to have a look at the players. I've looked and Coloccini is one player I said I want to be here."
