Newcastle United misfit Albert Luque is set to stay put at St James' Park after a proposed switch to Villarreal fell through.

The 30-year-old Spain international has failed to hit the heights on Tyneside, but his hopes of a January escape have been scuppered by Villarreal opting to sign Stuttgart's Jon Dahl Tomasson.

Magpies boss Glenn Roeder told the club's official website: "Albert's move to Villarreal is now very much in the balance because of the Jon Dahl Tomasson situation.

"In fact I would say that there has to be a big doubt that he will be moving there.

"The deal with PSV Eindhoven has also fallen through and there is no other club on the horizon.

"This being the case it looks as though Albert will be here not only for the rest of the season, but also at the start of next season."
