Boulahrouz to Newcastle?

Newcastle boss Joe Kinnear could make a shock move for Dutch international defender Khalid Boulahrouz. The player could join the club on loan in the January transfer window.

Formerly of Chelsea, the Moroccan born defender hardly impressed during his spell at Stamford Bridge, but will feel like he has some unfinished business left in the Premiership.

Newcastle boss Joe Kinnear apparently had glowing scout reports back from some of his watching scouts at his current club, and will enquire as to whether a loan move is a possibility.
