NEWCASTLE bad-boy Joey Barton is a shock £5million Portsmouth target.
Pompey manager Tony Adams has checked on the midfielder’s availability.
Barton, 26, returns next week after two months out with a knee injury and Toon boss Joe Kinnear will plead with him to stay.
But Adams knows Barton well following time spent at his Sporting Chance clinic and understands how to deal with the demons which have threatened to destroy the Scouser’s career.
Portsmouth need new midfielders with Papa Bouba Diop crocked for three months and Lassana Diarra sold to Real Madrid.
Barton’s agent Willie McKay said: “It doesn’t surprise me if there is interest because Joey is a great midfielder.”
