Newcastle United boss Sam Allardyce admits he hopes to land Sevilla defender Ivica Dragutinovic.

He said: "As far as Dragutinovic is concerned, if it's still a possibility than I'll pursue it this week.

"We'll be getting an experienced defender to go with a talented experienced Premiership player in Alan Smith who knows what it takes to win a championship, and also a good central defender in Cacapa."
