Tino Livramento insists he will take his time making a decision over his international after Scotland assistant John Carver revealed the right-back is of interest to Steve Clarke.
The defender joined Newcastle from Southampton for £40million during the summer transfer window and has made an impressive start to life at St James' Park.
Livaramento is currently on international duty with England U21s but would qualify to play for Scotland through his mother, while also being able to turn out for Portugal as well.
And Carver recently stated that the players is on Clarke's "radar" and that he is "a great admirer" of him.

However, Livaramento does not feel under pressure to make a decision at the moment. He said: "There’s no rush to make any decision. I’m really happy with where I am now. I’m really happy with the group I’m involved in, with the coach and everything.
"I’m just enjoying getting back to playing consistently and training consistently. I’m still young, still got a while to choose and I’m very happy with where I am now.
"I’ve not seen anything and I’m sure if it was something serious my agent would’ve let me know.
"I really do enjoy coming away with the team. We've a great manager [Lee Carsley] who stayed in contact with me when I was injured to make sure that I was in a good place.
"I have a lot of respect and love for the England setup because I've been through every age group here.”
