Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan is said to have offered the 29-year-old winger as part of a swap deal for Stephen Warnock.

Keegan wants the Blackburn left-back because he lacks cover in that position and is willing to lose Duff to get his man.

Bait: Duff could be used to tempt Blackburn to part with Warnock

However, the deal may be blocked by Rovers boss Paul Ince, who is reluctant to let Warnock go.

Duff made his name at Ewood Park before moving for £17million in 2003 to Chelsea, where he enjoyed two successful seasons but struggled in his third.

Since a £5m move to Newcastle in 2006, Duff's career has been blighted by injuries with ankle and knee problems both meaning long spells on the sidelines.
