Mick Martin: Cheick Tiote could leave Newcastle

Former Newcastle United midfielder Mick Martin has admitted that the Magpies could sell Cheick Tiote if a suitable offer comes in.

Manchester United and Chelsea have both been linked with moves for the Ivorian and Martin believes that he could leave for the right price.

"On the one hand Tiote could go if the price is right. He's a good player and the track record says that if someone comes in with £20million he'll go," Martin told talkSPORT.

Tiote joined Newcastle from Twente in 2010.
