Dimitar Berbatov has refused to rule out the possibility of a move to Newcastle United this month.
Berbatov, as quoted by talkSPORT, spoke of the prospect of a return to English football in the near future and was coy when asked if Newcastle would be a potential destination for him.
Everything is possible, just to smell the grass one more time, especially in England.
The Bulgarian, who enjoyed a massively successful spell with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United during his time in England, along with a stint at Fulham, is keen to get back into playing football soon after his release from Greek side PAOK.
Berbatov is claimed in the report to have grown up as a fan of The Magpies, with Alan Shearer being his idol, sparking the initial question of whether a move could indeed be on the cards.
The former Monaco man is 36-years-old but is certainly keen to keep the ball rolling and get back to work, with a move back to England certainly seeming to be the ideal for him.
The Chronicle report that Berbatov idolises Newcastle legend Alan Shearer and that he used to sleep in a Newcastle ‘9’ shirt.
“Alan Shearer was a hero, still he is a hero of mine, the way he scored the goals and put his hands out, that’s what I used to do when I scored as a tribute to him, just trying to imitate your childhood hero.”
