Jeff Hendrick is desperate to prove himself all over again at Newcastle after a summer which saw him linked with a move to Italian giants AC Milan.

The 28-year-old Republic of Ireland midfielder joined the Magpies on a free transfer last week following the expiration of his contract at Burnley after the Premier League side held off competition from Serie A.
