Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew admits he hopes to secure skipper Fabricio Coloccini to a new contract.

The central defender will lead the Magpies into Barclays Premier League battle at Wolves tomorrow hoping to extend their eight-game unbeaten start to the season.

Pardew said: "Of course Colo is on the agenda, there is no doubt about that. He's had a terrific start as captain.

"We have a different look to the team and he is part of that, and securing Jonas will only help in the process of trying to secure Coloccini."
