Magpies boss Kevin Keegan was a spectator at the Parc des Princes last Saturday as PSG drew 1-1 with St Etienne in Ligue 1.

And Diane, who started that match, claims the two clubs have held talks over his future saying: "I know that there is contact between the two clubs. If they come to an agreement, I would go to Newcastle."

Diane is a big fan of Keegan, who returned to Newcastle in January for a second spell as manager.

"Keegan is a coach that makes you dream," said Diane, who joined PSG from Strasbourg in the summer of 2006.

"His team play attacking football, and playing in England would be a great opportunity for me.

"To play with Michael Owen would be great and there is also Obafemi Martins, who is a quality striker.

"The Premier League is very attractive and several of my Ivorian friends play there, so I would be in good company."

Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou, Emmanuel Eboue and Kolo Toure are among the other Ivory Coast internationals who play in the Premier League.
