Martin Dubravka insists he wants to join Newcastle on permanent deal from Sparta Prague: 'I want to stay here after the summer... but I need to be focused until the last game'

Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has told parent club Sparta Prague to forget about interest from elsewhere because he wants to stay on Tyneside.

The Slovakia international is yet to concede a goal at St James' Park since arriving on loan on January deadline day.

There is thought to be a deal in place which would allow Dubravka to join Newcastle for £4million in the summer but other clubs - including Udinese - are also looking at the 29-year-old, who has been outstanding in his five matches for Rafa Benitez's side.
