Senegal international defender Lamine Diatta has spent four days training with Newcastle this week, with Kevin Keegan assessing whether to make the free agent his first signing since returning to SJP.
The 32 year-old made one appearance at the recent African Nations Cup Finals alongside Toon duo Habib Beye and Abdoulaye Faye.
However Diatta was reported to have announced his international retirement after Senegal failed to qualify for the later stages of the event.
Diatta began his professional career with Toulouse before moving on to Stade Rennais via a brief spell at Marseille.
2004 saw him join Lyon, where he played alongside Claudio Cacapa, winning two French league titles.
Two years later he made the switch to St.Etienne before a stint in Turkey with Besiktas which ended last year, when he bought himself out his contract.
Were Diatta to join United he would become the fourth Senegalese international to play for us, after the afore-mentioned Faye and Beye and old boy Amdy Faye.
It's speculated in the press that Newcastle have offered Diatta a one year deal, amid interest from fellow Premier League strugglers Wigan and Birmingham City.
Speaking in his Friday press call, KK confirmed that a final decision would be made on whether to sign Diatta next Tuesday.
