​Newcastle midfielder Diame close to Qatar move

It appears that Newcastle United midfielder Mo Diame has found his next club.

The 31-year-old is set to join Qatari side Al-Gharafa.

The Senegalese midfielder will be participating in the Qatari Stars League from next season if the move goes ahead.

Diame has less than a month left on his contract at Newcastle, with the club opting not to offer him a new one.

The news of his impending move comes from Qatari media outlets.

It did appear he would go to another Premier League club or step down to the Championship, but the financial security from the Qatari offer may be too good to pass up.
