Newcastle United confirm Mohamed Diame’s departure

Premier League side Newcastle United have confirmed that Mohamed Diame will depart the St James' Park when his contract runs out this month.

The 31-year-old midfielder joined the Magpies in the summer of 2016 after signing a three-year contract.

Last season, the former Senegal international played a key role to help Rafa Benitez’s men finish in the 13th spot on the table, featuring in 29 league games.

Diame needed to start 25 games for the Magpies to trigger an automatic contract extension but ended starting 24 matches.

The former Hull City player will become a free agent, having failed to get a new deal with Newcastle.
