Former Newcastle player Lomana Tresor Lua Lua wants to go back to the club and play for Kevin Keegan.

Lua Lua, who is famous for celebrating his goals with a series of somersaults and back flips, was signed for Newcastle from Colchester by Sir Bobby Robson in 2000.

"I feel I have unfinished business there" - Lomana Tresor Lua Lua

He spent four years at St James's Park before leaving to join Portsmouth, where he found regular first-team football and became a hero with some crucial goals, including four in successive games to help Pompey avoid relegation in 2006.

Lua Lua left Portsmouth last summer to join the Greek side Olympiacos but his 18-year-old brother recently broke into the first-team squad at St James's Park and Lua Lua would like to return.

He said: "I would love to go back to Newcastle. I feel I have unfinished business there. Kevin Keegan loves to play attacking football and would get the best out of me.

"My younger brother Kazenga is there and I had a great time when I was there before."
