Brighton & Hove Albion boss Gus Poyet is waiting to hear whether an attempt to re-sign Newcastle United winger Kazenga LuaLua has been successful. The youngster impressed during a loan spell at Brighton last season, making 11 appearances for the League One club.

Poyet has asked to take LuaLua on loan again and is awaiting Newcastle's response as he seeks to improve his squad.

"We have had no more news of Kazenga LuaLua yet," Poyet told the club's official website.

"We would like to know either way, but we have heard absolutely nothing. It's out of our hands so we will have to keep waiting.

"I would like to see a minimum of three players come in, maybe four, but it's all day, every day that we are working on signing the players, so we will have to wait and see."
