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.
