West Ham challenge Leeds for Newcastle midfielder Smith

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce is moving for Newcastle United midfielder Alan Smith.

The Daily Star Sunday says Allardyce will contact Newcastle again this week in a bid to land Smith, also a target for Leeds United.

Allardyce raided his former club to land Kevin Nolan in a £4million deal on Wednesday but is not finished yet.

He is now determined to add Smith, 30, to his line-up in an effort to put some bite into his relegated team. Allardyce paid £6m to buy Smith from Manchester United during his time in the North East.
