Holland striker Dirk Kuyt admits to dreaming of a move to Newcastle United.

The 25-year-old Feyenoord player is set to be a key part of the Dutch line-up in next month's World Cup and has been linked with a move to the Magpies.

Kuyt has made no secret of the fact he wants a move to England ahead of Italy.

He said: "I would love to play in the north-east. When I was young I loved Italian football. But only because Van Basten, Rijkaard and Gullit were playing for AC Milan.

"Now I'd rather play in England. I love English football. I also think my style of play is completely right for the Premiership.

"A club like Newcastle would be my dream."
