West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce is chasing Newcastle United captain Kevin Nolan.

The Sun says the Hammers offered Newcastle £3m for Nolan.

Midfielder Nolan, 28, played for Allardyce at Bolton and has two years left on his Newcastle contract. But he fears his days at Toon are numbered under Alan Pardew.

Hammers are waiting for a response to their bid as they prepare to fill the gap which will be left by midfield ace Scott Parker's departure.
