Former Newcastle defender Steven Taylor is in talks with Ipswich Town.
The 30-year-old left St James' Park last summer to sign for Portland Timbers.
The centre-back is now a free agent, however, after his MLS contract was cut short last month by mutual consent after nine appearances.
London-born Taylor joined Newcastle's youth set-up in 1995 and spent over 20 years at the club.
After a brief loan at Wycombe, Taylor made his senior Newcastle debut in 2004 and went on to make over 200 appearances for the Magpies despite a string of injury problems.
He established himself as the mainstay of former Toon boss Alan Pardew's team alongside Fabricio Coloccini but was released last August after Newcastle's relegation to the Sky Bet Championship.
Ipswich are currently 14th in the Championship table with 34 points from their 26 games.
