Sheffield Wednesday boss Steve Bruce wants Graham Carr to return to Newcastle United.
Bruce is in talks to take the Toon job.
And the Mirror reports Bruce wants to bring back Newcastle's legendary star-finder Carr as part of his St James' Park revolution.
He knows Carr, who once signed an eight-year contract with the Tyneside club, still possesses the contacts, especially in Europe, to help him bring in the right players.
The super-spy, dad of TV funnyman Alan, discovered emerging players such as Yohan Cabaye, Papiss Cisse, Cheick Tiote and Mathieu Debuchy. It fitted owner Ashley's philosophy of snapping up young players for bargain prices and later selling them on for a big profit.
Working alongside managers Chris Hughton and Alan Pardew, Carr was handed the eight-year contract by a grateful Mike Ashley in 2012. He left two years ago after Rafa Benitez took charge.
