Reports in The Sun claim that Argentinean midfielder
Aldo Duscher is to travel to Newcastle United for a trial period,
in a bid to secure a contract.
If the ex-Deportivo La Coruna man impresses, he will be available
on a free transfer, with his contract at the Spanish club having
expired this summer.
Duscher is better known as the man behind the great metatarsal
debacle, having broken David Beckhams foot in a challenge during a
league match between Deportivo and Real Madrid. The injury caused
panic in England, as Beckham, then captain of the national squad,
struggled to regain fitness before the 2002 World Cup.
Duscher has been capped for his country four times, and has spent
time in Argentinean, Portuguese and Spanish football, where he
played for Deportivo 157 times in seven years.
