Joey Barton’s agent has insisted the controversial
midfielder is not looking to leave Newcastle.
Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce, who brought Barton to Tyneside in
2007, is believed to be monitoring the situation, but the
midfielder’s agent claims there is nothing in the pipeline.
"No, no, no, there's nothing doing - Joey has a three-year
contract left at Newcastle," said Willie McKay in The Daily
Star.
"Joey has three years left on his contract at Newcastle. He
doesn't want to leave."
