Newcastle want Martins price cut over age confusion
|
Newcastle United will demand Inter Milan drop their £10 million price for Obafemi Martins because of confusion over his age.
The Magpies are looking into reports from Nigeria that the wantaway striker is possibly SIX YEARS older than his official age of 21.
This mix-up came to light after claims Martins played alongside Toon defender Celestine Babayaro - who is 28 in 14 days - in the Nigerian youth set-up.
Even if Martins proves to be older than listed, the North East club are still interested - but not at Inter's valuation.
