"Premier" league mid-table club is actively interested in two new players. In the list of desired players by coach Graeme Souness are forward from Uruguay Walter Pandiani and defender Celestine Babayaro. According to the Spanish press, "Newcastle" offered around 5 million euros for 28-year-old W. Pandiani. This was confirmed by the president of the "Deportivo" club, Augusto Cesar Lendoiro. He also stated that the decisive word about the sale will be given by coach J. Irureta. However, the president also mentioned that he does not think the deal could happen. Another player that interests G. Souness is defender Celestine Babayaro. The 26-year-old footballer this year failed to establish himself in the revamped "Chelsea" team and spent most of his time on the substitute's bench. It is believed that "Newcastle" could offer about 2 million euros to buy the player. "Chelsea" should not hinder the player from leaving, as his contract expires next summer and then he could leave the London club without a transfer fee.
