Newcastle defender Habib Beye has revealed he wants out of the potentially doomed club.

The Senegal international has confirmed that he is looking elsewhere even though it hurts him to be wanting to leave St James’ Park.

"I'm really upset by what has, or rather has not, been going on this summer," Beye said.

"It was hard enough dealing with the disappointment of being relegated but things just seem to be going from bad to worse.

"I've spoken to Alan Shearer and I know how much he wanted to get Newcastle back to the Premier League.

"I'd like nothing more than to stay and help the team get back to where it belongs but there is no chance of us being promoted the way things are going.

"This cannot go on, it really can't. I feel for the good of my career I have to get away because it is dragging me down."

Blackburn Rovers are believed to be interested in Beye.
