Newcastle Linked with Shock Adrian

Adrian Mutu

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has Andy Carroll and Joey Barton – neither strangers to controversy but he looks to be interested in going one step further in his acquisition of football bad-boys, after he was inked with ex-Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu.

The Fiorentina forward had his Blues contract swiftly cancelled in 2004 when he tested positive for cocaine, but the Metro newspaper reports Pardew has made enquiries. And, believe it or not, the Romanian is still only 32.

Last summer it was Cesc Fabregas and Sergio Aguero. The previous window it was Sergio Canales and, er, Jermaine Beckford. But the player named as the one fans are most likely to get sick of hearing in transfer rumours has today been named (by FanHouse) as David Luiz.

The latest, according to the Sun, is that Chelsea have offered £23 million plus Nemanja Matic for the Benfica defender, but the Portuguese club are unwilling to go below £30 million. Fair enough too.
