Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce insists he has no intention of allowing Nolberto Solano to leave St James' Park, amid widespread reports the Peruvian wants to move to London.

Solano's family currently reside in the capital and he is known to be keen on quitting the North East in order to join them.

West Ham are believed to be strong suitors of the gifted wide man but Allardyce is loath to sanction his departure, especially given that fact he has only just sold Kieron Dyer to the same club.

Capital dream

"Nobby has talked about his family situation and that's obviously something we have to try and resolve," said Allardyce.

"But at the moment, unlike Kieron, where West Ham have come in with a big offer, nobody has come in for Nobby. So he stays with us and he really is not someone I would want to lose."
