Media reports had suggested that Newcastle offered City cash and players for the England international winger but Magpies chairman Freddie Shepherd has denied these reports.

"I don't know how this story started or where it came from, but it is patently not true," Shepherd told the Mail on Sunday.

"I suspect that one or more clubs are being mischievous in starting the speculation.

"Although we're on the look-out for players who can make us successful in the future, this young man is not part of our plans."
