Kevin Keegan may do some shopping in Milan

Newcastle United are in the market for defenders and Kevin Keegan may turn to Italy to strengthen his squad.

At this stage nothing has been finalised but it is common knowledge that ‘The Geordies’ have targeted Anton Ferdinand (West Ham United), Richard Dunne (Manchester City) and Fabricio Coloccini (Deportivo La Coruña).

At this stage nothing has been finalised.

However Kevin Keegan could soon be making an offer of as little as ₤4 million for Argentinean international Nicolas Burdisso.

The twenty seven year old defender is currently ay Inter Milan but is reportedly unsettled and could be looking for new pastures.

It may not be as easy as that though as Burdisso may be lured to his native Argentina where Boca Juniors are also keen on the player and he has publicly stated that he would like to finish his career in Argentina.
