Danny Simpson admits he's copping abuse from Newcastle United fans over his contract stand-off.

His contract negotiations with Newcastle have stalled but he insists he is not looking to leave the club.

Simpson said: "It hurts to read on Twitter or whatever that you're being greedy or you don't want to be here because I've loved every minute. I love the city and the people, and all the staff. It's not down to money.

"I have a bit of time left on my contract - 15, 16 months - and I'm happy here. I would like to get it sorted but as far as I know, it'll be the summer. I'm sure it will get resolved. I love it here."
