Turkish side Ankaraguca paraded the Cameroon international as the first signing of the January windown at the weekend ... but ... these claims have been played down by United.
A club spokesperson said: "Further to reports in various sections of the media today regarding the transfer of Geremi to Turkish side Ankaraguca, Newcastle United wishes to make it clear that whilst there are a number of clubs interested in possibly acquiring his services, any talk of him leaving St. James' Park at this moment is extremely premature.
"Geremi remains a Newcastle United player and has today linked up with Cameroon for the African Cup of Nations."
