FC Twente defender Douglas Teixeira has revealed that Newcastle United and a 'bigger club' are showing interest.
The 24-year old Brazilian-born Dutchman is looking to leave the Dutch league and is not keen to head to Ajax who are also in the queue with a move to another competition in Europe high on his agenda.
"I want to go abroad as I have outgrown the league.
"I noticed this year that I am sometimes a little too easy going down, then you make mistakes. I want to be tested every week.
"I have spent five years [at Twente] and have done my best for the club.
"I have won the title, the cup - it's time for a next step.
"Five clubs are interested and there's a bigger club than Newcastle. I cannot still say anything about it, but I hope soon to have my new club.""I have personally been in touch with Ajax and immediately said that I'm not interested," he told NuSport.
