The highly-rated right-back insists he has no plans to return to the Serie A in the near future.
“Now I feel very comfortable,” Santon told intervistasportiva.com. “At the beginning I struggled to find space because I still had some problems and because the coach wanted me to understand the type of football they play here but now I’m finding more space and continuity and I’m happy.
“The fans are fantastic, really, they give you a crazy charge and incite the team regardless of whether you win or lose, the stadium always has fifty thousand people.
“I’m really happy here and I’m glad I signed for five years with Newcastle.”
Santon joined Newcastle from Inter Milan in a £5million deal last summer.
He continued: “Come back to Italy? No, at the moment. In the future you never know, it will depend on the opportunities, but now I don’t think about it.
“The National team? I hope to come back but I’m not thinking to the European Championship. Now I’m interested to play and find continuity, if all goes well things will flow from that.”
