Chelsea to sign jail-bird Marlon King?

In the strangest Chelsea transfer rumour of the day, it seems that Marlon King has been telling his jailbird friends that he will be coming out to a contract with Chelsea!

An article in todays Click Lancashire said: “According to reports jailed ex-Wigan Athletic striker Marlon King reckons he has been offered a deal with Chelsea FC.

The Sun claims the former Latics star has told fellow inmates that he has an offer from the Blues waiting for him when he leaves prison.

King was jailed back at the back end of October for 18 months after he was found guilty of sexual assault and assault occasioning actual bodily harm to a 20-year-old woman in a London night club.

The Sun also claims he has converted to Islam and changed his name to Abu Hamza.

It is further alleged that he was also caught with cocaine in his cell a few weeks ago.”

Maybe he has been taking too much of said cocaine and is having hallucinations. Or has he just gone stir-crazy?

Could there be any truth in this or is it just the ravings of a lunatic?
