Newcastle striker Joselu: Hughes gave me no chance at Stoke

Newcastle United striker Joselu has taken aim at Stoke City boss Mark Hughes.

The Spanish striker made a £5m move from Stoke to Newcastle United in the summer, despite being the Potters' most impressive performer in front of goal during pre-season.

He told the Daily Mail: “I had no chance. I scored goals, I played well, but the manager did not give me a run of games.

“He (Hughes) is the reason I'm not there. He didn't trust me. Now I have a manager who does. When I had the offer to come, it was the only place I wanted to be."
