Blackburn Rovers defender Zurab Khizanishvili is delighted with his move to Newcastle United.

The on-loan stopper told the Evening Chronicle: "Newcastle may be in the Championship, but for me everything about the place is Premier League.

"You can see that as soon as you walk through the door - and so can other teams.

"It's a club that deserves to be in the top division and that's what we are going out there to achieve. I am really enjoying my time here so far."
