Newcastle United are prepared to sell captain Kevin Nolan.
The Sunday Mirror says West Ham United's opening offer for the influential midfielder amounted to just £1.5million, but Newcastle have not ruled out selling Nolan if any club is prepared to meet their £4m valuation, which has alerted London clubs QPR and Fulham.
Stoke and West Brom are also monitoring Nolan's situation.
Although Allardyce and Nolan share the same agent as Andy Carroll - Mark Curtis - it is unlikely to influence the 28-year-old, who is reluctant to either leave Newcastle or drop down into the Championship.
