Solano on way back to Magpies

Aston Villa winger Nolberto Solano could be on his way back to his former club Newcastle in an exchange deal involving James Milner. Earlier on today, Magpies chairman Freddy Shepherd dismissed any notion of a deal being done. But it now appears that Solano is wanted back on Tyneside and will move provided Milner goes the other way.

Solano originally left the club for Villa 18 months ago and was linked with a switch to Liverpool earlier this month. Villa boss David O'Leary denied that the Peruvian was joining Liverpool and was adamant that he would stay at the club. O'Leary, though, appears to have been tempted into letting Solano rejoin Newcastle on the asumption he gets Milner.

Solano is a good player and I believe a move back to Newcastle would be good for him. Solano is a player that has a great free kick and is a great passer of the ball. O'Leary will benifit with England under 21 international James Milner who has never really showed his true potential at Newcastle and maybe this move will help him do that.
