The agent of Spartak Moscow midfielder Alex Kral has reacted to claims of interest from Newcastle United.

Kral has made it no secret of his ambition to eventually play in England.

But on the Newcastle rumours, agent Karol Kisel told Sport-Express: "Alex is happy at Spartak.

"We do not think about any changes in the winter transfer window. However, many English clubs closely monitor him.

"The transfer to one of the Premier League clubs is really his dream, but this does not mean that he will leave somewhere in six months or a year."
