Club Brugge star Charles de Ketelaere has admitted he is not keen on a move to Newcastle United after asking former Sunderland stopper Simon Mignolet for advice on the city. The 21-year-old is making waves across Europe with his performances in Belgium and has been tentatively linked with a move to the Magpies this summer.
Newcastle chiefs have started to draw up plans for the upcoming transfer window. But if club scouts did have De Ketelaere on their radar, they may have to rethink after he spoke with fellow countryman and ex-Black Cats goalkeeper Mignolet about a move to the north east.
“The Premier League is the highest you can go. That intensity too. In England, you become a better player. But I want to leave everything open," he said recently while discussing a move away from Club Brugge.
