Newcastle United teenage midfielder Gael Bigirimana has insisted that he is not going out on loan and is ready to fight for a regular place in the first team this season.

  • Chelsea join Liverpool & Man Utd in race to sign 26yo
  • Barcelona identify Arsenal midfielder as key transfer target

  • The 19 year old has been rumored to be on the verge of a loan exit from St. James this summer but the midfielder vehemently denies all such reports. Bigirimana has confirmed that he is going to stay and contest for a place in the side.



    "People can say it's best for me to go on loan, but I'm not going anywhere," Bigirimana told The Shields Gazette.



    "I'm going to stay here. I'm going to be patient, and I'm going to work my socks off.



    "I showed last year that I didn't look out of place in the big games. That's not being big-headed. That's how I feel I did.



    "So I'm not going on loan. My target this season is to fight. You never know how the season can change.



    "Patience is the key. In football, you've got to be patient. You've got to stay fit and keep working in training."
