Newcastle United are reportedly planning to re-sign former loan star Marlon Harewood on a free transfer from Aston Villa in the summer.
The striker is set to leave Villa Park on a Bosman in the close season and the Magpies are understood to be keen to bring him back to the club after their promotion to the Premier League.
Harewood scored five goals in 15 appearances for the Magpies during a three-month loan spell earlier this season.
However, United boss Chris Hughton had to scrap plans to sign him in January when the forward broke his foot in training.
The former Nottingham Forest man is now fully fit but Villa are happy to let him move on to get his £27,000-a-week salary off their wage bill.
