Steven Gerrard refused to rule himself out of the running for the Newcastle job and said he was ‘looking in with interest’ following the Saudi-led takeover.
Sportsmail reported last week that the Rangers boss was part of discussions among the consortium, especially given his links to their football advisor Frank McParland, the former Liverpool chief scout.
It is thought that Gerrard would be interested in making the move to Tyneside, and he did little to quieten such talk when pressed on the matter on Friday.
‘I think it’s interesting, what’s happening at Newcastle,’ said the former England captain.
