Mohamed Diame is set to sign a new deal with Newcastle United.
According to the Chronicle, the player already has an agreement with the club and the renewal will be processed once he has played a certain number of games this season.
Diame has been a key player for Rafa Benitez this season. The Spaniard has started the powerful box-to-box midfielder in every game so far.
It will be interesting to see the length of the extension when the deal is confirmed.
The 31-year-old is nearing the end of his peak and Newcastle will have to start planning for a future without him.
