Huntelaar eyes loan exit

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has put many of the Premiership's top clubs on red alert after announcing that he would like to quit Real Madrid on loan.

Liverpool and Arsenal are both monitoring the Dutch striker's situation closely, and with talk of a loan switch available, will be ready to pounce.

“I am thinking about leaving,” he told De Telegraaf.

“When I have spoken to the club directors, they have reassured me and told me they have faith in me.

“I have played a few minutes, but I want more. It’s important for me because our national team manager has repeatedly explained that we must play regularly at club level in order to make his squad.

“That’s not happening to me. Still, I would like to stay in an important league to prove I am Milan material. I’d like to go out on loan and then come back here.
