    The globetrotting adventures of former Newcastle striker Obafemi Martins look set to continue with news that he's a transfer target of MLS side Seattle Sounders.

    Still just 28 (according to his passport at least), Oba played in Italy with Reggiana and Inter Milan before moving to England with United during 2006.

    And after exiting Tyneside three years later in favour of German outfit Wolfsburg, he joined Russian side Rubin Kazan before a loan stint at Birmingham City paved the way for him to join Spanish club Levante in 2012.

    Wasn't Oba supposed to be 28 when he signed for us?

    I thought he was 22 (passport age) when he joined us but really 32. Or something like that

    I suppose the saying, "You're only as old as the woman you feel" might have something to do with it. He seemed to have quite a reputation for chasing them.

    I thought he was doing alright at Levante. Surprised if he moved again.
