Haris Vuckic is open to leaving Newcastle United on-loan this week.
The Slovenian player is hopeful he can follow in the footsteps of Mehdi Abeid who spent last term at Panathinaikos.
Abeid came back a better player and is only out of the first team because of injury.
Vuckic told the Evening Chronicle: "At the moment my focus is at Newcastle. In January we will see what will happen.
"Now I am at that stage where I need to look at myself. I will speak to the coach and see what is best for me."
