KEVIN Keegan is said to be back on the trail of Liverpool defender John Arne Riise.
The Newcastle United manager is looking to shore up his leaky defence, which conceded its 57th goal of the season at Birmingham last night.
And it is being reported today that one of his main targets could be Reds defender Riise, who is no longer an automatic first-team choice for Rafa Benitez.
The Magpies were linked with a move for Riise in the January transfer window, but, with the Anfield club still in the Champions League, nothing transpired.
However, if Keegan keeps Newcastle in the Premiership he is likely to receive a substantial transfer kitty from owne Mike Ashley.
And his first move could be a bid of about £3.5m for the Norwegian international.
