Pardew dismisses Enrique quit claims

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has insisted there is no deal in place to sell Spanish full-back Jose Enrique to Liverpool.Speculation has been rife in recent months the former Villarreal full-back will leave Tyneside during the summer after putting talks over a new contract on hold.Liverpool old boy Phil Thompson said in a television interview over the weekend he understood a deal had been done, a claim on which the Magpies were not prepared to comment.However, Pardew, who has repeatedly spoken of his hopes of persuading the club's first-choice left-back to extend his stay at St James' Park, is adamant that is not the case.He told the Evening Chronicle: "There's definitely no deal between the clubs - 100%. He's under contract here until next summer and we hope to open talks on a new deal as soon as possible. That's where we are."We want to keep our best players, and Jose's one of them. As far as anything being a done deal, that's not true. We want Jose to stay. Nothing's changed."
