Habib Beye

Newcastle United's highly-rated defender Habib Beye could be on his way out of St James' Park this summer, with a press report in Yorkshire linking him with a move to Hull City.

Everton, Bolton Wanderers and West Ham United have all been linked with the Senegalese international, who can operate anywhere across the back-four, but City, according to The Hull Mail, have also now emerged as suitors for his signature.

Beye has issued several contradictory statements since Newcastle United's season ended in relegation, having asserted that he wanted to stay and subsequently being reported as stating he wants to leave the club.

The player feels that the long-suffering fans of the Toon deserve better from the club, telling British tabloid The Daily Mail, "I feel for them because they deserve better, much, much better. They need to know what the future is at this club, and it must be terribly hard for them. The fans were better than us last season.

"But it’s important to have a good relationship between the fans and the players. We will always try to communicate with them. They are brilliant."
