Martins Future In Doubt?

Last updated : 24 May 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
Martins has never once said he wanted to leave Newcastle, and only last week pledged his future to the club, but The Sun claim Newcastle want rid of him!

The Sun: "The Toon sounded out Liverpool about buying the Nigerian but Martins' advisors have rejected the idea.

"However, Chelsea and Arsenal have been alerted by developments.

"Martins, 23, has a £13million buy-out clause in his contract which Newcastle originally asked to take out in exchange for a £90,000- a-week, five-year deal.

"But outgoing chairman Chris Mort recently made it clear Newcastle would not pay players ridiculous wages.

"It seems Martins has now fallen into that category. "
