King Kev has Spanish eyes for ex-Gunner Reyes as he looks to rebuild Newcastle

Newcastle have been linked with a surprise summer swoop for former Arsenal forward Jose Antonio Reyes.

The 24-year-old, who made his name with Seville, is currently out of favour at Atletico Madrid and has been targeted by Toon boss Kevin Keegan as a man who can help bring back attacking football to St James' Park.

The Spanish international, who moved to Arsenal for £10.5million in 2004, never settled in the captial and was loaned to Real Madrid in August 2006, before being sold to city rivals Atletico at the start of this season.

Newcastle owner Mike Ashley is ready to give Keegan his full financial backing in the summer as long as the north-east club avoid relegation this season.
