Insua targeted by Keegan

Newcastle United gaffer Kevin Keegan has targeted Emiliano Insua as a stop-plug for his leaky defence after he watched his side crumble at home to the scum, losing 5-1.

Rafa Benitez however rates the 19-year-old very highly indeed and is unlikely to allow the youngster to leave on a permanent basis, but could consider a season-long loan deal to give the Argentine some much-needed matchday experience.

Keegan’s scouts have reportedly watched the former Boca Juniors starlet on numerous occasions whilst on reserve duty for the Reds, and Keegan is understood to be impressed with the reports flooding back to his desk.
