Magpies' boss Graeme Souness has revealed how midfielder Lee Bowyer is desperate for a move away from St James' Park. It was revealed earlier this year that Bowyer was keen on a move back to London, but Souness now admits that the 28-year-old wants this move as soon as possible.

GRAEME SOUNESS: "Lee Bowyer has made it known he wants to be in London playing his football.

"He feels he's been out of London long enough. That's my take on it.

"Lee's our player and until someone comes along with an offer, we accept he'll remain our player.

"But he wants to go back home, it's not footballing reasons because he's started far more games for me than he's not.

"You have to ask others at the club if they're keen to keep him, all the players like him."
