Kevin Keegan says Michael Laudrup should be considered for the Newcastle United job.

Laudrup is happy in Qatar with Lekhwiya and the former Swansea City manager insisted only last week he would not return to Europe for a "mid-table" club.

But Keegan believes Laudrup would be the best appointment for his old club.

"I would put Michael Laudrup top of my list," said Keegan. "What that would do is guarantee a certain type of football. What he did at Swansea is something the Newcastle fans want. They want to be entertained."
