West Ham United must double their offer if they want to land Newcastle United captain Kevin Nolan.

The Daily Mail says West Ham have had a £3million offer for Nolan rejected.

Manager Sam Allardyce is eager to be re-united with his former Bolton captain, who has turned down the offer of a new contract at St James' Park.

Newcastle want £6m for the 28-year-old, who scored 12 League goals last season - one more than Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.
