Regularly linked with Newcastle in the past, Crystal Palace have now named Frank de Boer as their new boss.

Speaking ahead of their first match on Sunday night away at Chievo, new Inter Milan boss Frank de Boer has been quizzed about the transfer market and Moussa Sissoko in particular.

Then Frank de Boer himself emerged and coolly announced that Newcastle was really nothing like the sort of club he would consider taking on.

Frank de Boer “They are fantastic clubs, Liverpool and Newcastle, with their supporters behind them, fantastic environments to coach.”

Incredibly, Newcastle United turned down the chance of even talking to both Frank de Boer and Michael Laudrup, due to favouring Steve McClaren.

Frank de Boer reveals 3 clubs have approached him during his time at Ajax.

Frank de Boer confirmed that as well as saying no to any clubs who approach him now, he hasn’t been approached by anybody, including Newcastle, this season.

Frank de Boer would be interested in a move to the Premier League but it depends on which club is asking according to brother Ronald.

Frank de Boer has said he thinks he’ll be staying at Ajax beyond this season, with watching his daughters play handball being one of the reasons.
