Vurnon Anita says he has plenty to offer Newcastle

Vurnon Anita says he has plenty to offer Newcastle United.

The midfielder made his debut in victory over Tottenham.

Anita told the Sunday Sun: "The player I admire the most in the world is Xavi from Barcelona. I also admire Andreas Iniesta.

"They are like me in that they not so tall, but they can play very, very good football and I love to watch them on television.

"Footballers these days tend to be big, which is something I am not. I can't help that.

"So this is why I look up to Xavi who is one of the best players in the world. The way he plays football is special.

"This is how I want to play my football. I like to pass the ball, play one-twos, move well and create chances for my team-mates.

"This is what Dutch football is famous for. So I hope to bring these talents here to Newcastle and do well here."
