Magpies move is 'first choice' for Kluivert

Patrick Kluivert has made a move to Newcastle his “first choice”, according to his agent.

The 28-year-old Dutch international, who has been released by Barcelona, has been a long-term target for the Magpies, who are attempting to find a replacement for skipper Alan Shearer when his current deal expires at the end of the new campaign.
