Villarreal president Fernando Roig has made it clear that he does not believe Unai Emery will leave the club, despite speculation linking him to Newcastle United.

Villarreal president Fernando Roig does not believe that Unai Emery will join Newcastle United, despite speculation linking him to the Premier League outfit.

The former Arsenal boss is reportedly the top choice for the Magpies in order to replace Steve Bruce following the recent takeover, but he is currently under contract with the Spanish outfit.

Roig spoke to the press ahead of Villarreal's upcoming Champions League fixture and he made it clear he does not think Emery will leave.

"I do not think so. He is a professional and we have two big games coming up. He will be busy preparing the game against Young Boys.

"I have absolutely no idea [about any approach]. What I do know is that he has a contract with us and contracts are there to be fulfilled. I have no doubts about Unai's professionalism."

Emery has a deal with the club until 2023 and he will take charge of Villarreal tonight in the Champions League as they face Young Boys.
