Magpies linked with Suazo

Magpies linked with Suazo
Newcastle and Atletico Madrid have been linked with a move for striker David Suazo.

The Inter Milan forward, currently on loan to Benfica, is reported to have drawn the attention of both high-profile clubs after an impressive season in Portugal.

Out of action after picking up a knock against Sporting Lisbon, Suazo has admitted he could leave Benfica when his current loan spell comes to an end.

Although his priority is getting back to full match fitness, the 29-year-old has not ruled out a move to either England or Spain.

Injured

"I am injured at the moment on-loan here at Benfica," he told skysports.com .

"I have very much enjoyed my time in Portugal but I have a lot of options open to me.

"There are clubs in the Premier League and La Liga expressing an interest in me but I will wait and see what happens at the end of the season.

"My main concern at the moment is to get fit again."
