Jose Enrique keen to extend Newcastle contract

Jose Enrique is chasing a new contract with Newcastle United.

The 24-year-old was a £6.5m signing from Villarreal in 2007. After a slow start as he adapted to the more hectic pace of English football, the left-back has blossomed into one of the Magpies' most effective and popular players.

"I have always said the same thing," he told The Journal. "When I signed here, I signed for five years.

"I have two years more - this year and another one - but I am already thinking about the future and hoping that my stay is longer than that. I would like to stay for another five years if it possible. I am very happy here and I hope this season will be very good for us."
