Holland striker Patrick Kluivert has pledged to repay the faith shown in him by Newcastle boss Graeme Souness.
The 28-year-old is yet to make an impression on Tyneside, but Souness this week confirmed the Magpies turned down an offer from Spanish side Osasuna for him during the January transfer window.
Kluivert has responded by vowing to resurrect his career with an extended stay in the north east.
He told the Daily Mirror: “I didn’t start something six months ago just to leave halfway through.
"Whatever anyone says or writes, I don’t plan on going anywhere in the summer.
“I want to be a success at Newcastle, and I don’t just mean until the end of the season, but after that too.
“I heard yesterday, like everyone else, that Osasuna had a bid for me rejected in the January transfer window. I didn’t know anything about it, but I’m glad Newcastle rejected the offer.”
