Patrik Schick issues 'wait and see' response amid Newcastle United transfer speculation

Newcastle United 'target' Patrik Schick claims he's not thinking about 'being transferred somewhere' else amid transfer speculation linking him to St. James' Park.

Speaking to the Independent, Schick said: “Let’s wait and see," when asked about a possible transfer to the Premier League in the future.

Eddie Howe's side are looking to improve the squad with the Magpies second bottom of the Premier League.

The Toon have won just once in all competitions this season and have one of the worst defensive records in the division.

Newcastle are trying to force a deal over the line for Sevilla centre-back Diego Carlos and are exploring other defensive options.

They've already brought in Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood, but need further signings to avoid relegation.

The Magpies have been linked with Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata who has been prolific in Serie A in recent seasons.

Links to Czech Republic international Schick have quietened down as the window has gone on, with the 25-year-old seemingly focussed on life in Leverkusen.

He added: “I’ve changed clubs a lot [six in six years] so I never had time to feel settled. I’m really happy in Leverkusen and with my life in Germany so at this moment I’m not thinking about being transferred somewhere.

“I watch the Premier League and I like England but that doesn’t mean that if I continue like this I’ll play there.”
