Newcastle hope to keep Enrique

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew remains confident that the club can still keep hold of Jose Enrique, despite the interests of Arsenal and Liverpool in the talented left back.

Alan Pardew quipped: "I’m still hopeful that Enrique, who was a big player for us last year, stays at the club and we can entice him to stay.

"We are still working on that. We're not confident we can keep him, but we're not scared of losing him."

Arsenal are apparently ready to let Gael Clichy leave this summer and bring the Spaniard in as his replacement.
