Newcastle, AC Milan target Botman says he's ready for Lille departure

Sven Botman says he feels ready to leave Lille this summer.

Botman, who previously won Ligue 1 with Lille, believes he has played his last game for the club and hopes to complete a move away in the coming weeks in time for the start of pre-season as Newcastle and AC Milan monitor his situation.

"Those clubs are interested, yes," he told Algemeen Dagblad. "I can't and won't say much more about it.

"What do I want? Taking a nice step towards a nice competition. I am also looking forward to a new step.

"I am aware of what I want. That is not necessarily to that club or that competition. You weigh all kinds of things and then the total picture has to suit you. I must have a very good feeling about it."
