Newcastle United boss Kevin Keegan admits he needs an experienced centre-half signing to play alongside Steven Taylor.

"I'm not thinking of bringing Kevin Kilcline back, much as I like him," he said.

"But if I'm honest today, they just needed somebody to talk to them more middle to back.

"Steven Taylor will be a real leader and already he's got leadership qualities. But if you look to the side of him you've got players new to the Premier League."
