‘Happy’ Given commits his future to Newcastle

SHAY GIVEN has committed his future to Newcastle amid speculation he is wanted by Arsenal.

The 32-year-old Irishman insists he is happy at St James’ Park 10 years after his arrival and is focussing only on the club’s drive to establish themselves back among the Premier League’s elite.

Arsene Wenger is known to be an admirer of the Lifford-born goalkeeper and is understood to have identified him as a possible replacement for Jens Lehmann, who has joined Stuttgart.
