Newcastle's Veteran Midfielder Mohamed Diame Reveals Secret Behind Recent Return to Form

Newcastle's midfield enforcer Mohamed Diame has undergone a recent resurgence after signing from Hull City in 2016.

The 30-year-old retired from international duties with Senegal in March of last year so he could focus on reviving his club career, and it seems to be paying dividends with his performances having elevated significantly over the last two months.

When asked what had changed, Diame revealed (quotes via Shields Gazette): "Just the work. I’ve been working hard to get back to the player I want to be. That’s it, just the work... Of course it’s what I want to do and what I have to do.
