Former Newcastle United midfielder Geremi has thanked part owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi for the invitation to return to St James' Park.
Geremi was signed by former Magpies boss Sam Allardyce in 2007 following spells at Real Madrid and Chelsea, and spent two-and-a-half years on Tyneside.
The former Cameroon international was in attendance on Tuesday night as United earned a vital victory over relegation rivals Everton.
