Will Newcastle boss Sir Bobby Robson look to make a move for Chelsea's William Gallas - who addmitted over the weekend that he is looking for a move away from Stamford Bridge. Barcelona are also interested...

Newcastle United boss Sir Bobby Robson has stated that he is unlikely to make a move for Chelsea's defender William Gallas.

Robson told The Sun: "I like Gallas as a player but I have six centre-halves already and am happy with the quality we have here." Gallas, who admitted over the weekend that he was considering quitting Stamford Bridge, has also had interest from Barcelona.

Barcelona are prepared to double Gallas' current wages (£625,000). Gallas has a clause of £7.5 million.
