Last updated : 29 December 2004 By Paul Lagan

Celestine Babayaro is heading up to Newcastle according to reports coming out of the North-East.
Baba, 26, has lost his place in Jose Mourinho's set-up and is destined to further his career away from Stamford Bridge.

Talks are at an advanced stage for Baba and he could be the first Blue to move in the transfer window, starting on January 1.

Middlesbrough and Liverpool are also keen to have a look at our left back, who is currently our longest serving player.
