Former Newcastle midfielder Gini Wijnaldum has been linked with a return to St James’ Park.
He only left England in the summer to join Paris Saint-Germain from Liverpool on a free transfer.
But TeamTalk report he has been told he will need to be patient in his bid for increased gametime.
That has apparently raised the prospect of a January exit and Newcastle are one of the clubs who would apparently be keen.

Some Newcastle fans on Twitter have reacted to the link and it is fair to say they are split.
Some have concerns over why he would come back and also over his exit first time around.
Others see it as an opportunity to bring in a Champions League and Premier League winning midfielder.
