Danny Mill's agent comments on the recent speculation, which has linked his defender with a move to St James' Park.

Mills agent Neil Featherby said:

"If someone wants to turn speculation into reality we will look at what's put forward.

"Newcastle are a big club, huge, and any footballer would have to consider any interest from them. But it's just speculation at this stage and there hasn't been any contact from the club.

"He had a very good season at Boro and loved it there. He knows Steve McClaren and Gareth Southgate well and chose Boro because of that. The fans took to him and he came away with a Carling Cup winners' medal.

"Danny's never denied that he'd like to make it a permanent move but that wasn't to be. We thought we were very close in January but for one reason or another it didn't happen.

"It was an issue between the clubs, not us. Now the season's over is that issue, whatever it may be, still the sticking point? Because we are still waiting for them to talk to us."
