Newcastle United defender Davide Santon has revealed that he is "really happy" at the club, despite interest from Serie A side AC Milan.

Santon, who has established himself as Newcastle's first-choice left-back this season with a string of impressive performances, insists that he intends to remain on Tyneside until 2016.

However, the Italian international has openly admitted that he is a fan of Milan and has welcomed interest from the Serie A giants.

The 22-year-old told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "I'm really happy in Newcastle. I like the city, the club and the atmosphere. I'm also engaged to Chloe and we're expecting a baby in May. I live like a king in Newcastle and I have a contract until 2016.

"But, I've heard of the interest from Milan in me and that is really pleasing because I have been a Milan fan since I was a child.

"I'm not sure what would happen if another Italian club came in for me, but I'd seriously think about packing my bags for Milan."

Santon signed for the Magpies from Inter Milan in 2011.
