Spurs line up bid for Newcastle's Dyer

Tottenham are lining up a move for Newcastle United midfielder Kieron Dyer.

The Journal says having missed out on Scott Parker, who is on his way to West Ham, Spurs manager Martin Jol might instead decide to firm up his long-held interest in Kieron Dyer.

New Toon boss Sam Allardyce last week met Dyer in Manchester to outline his plans at St James's Park, although the player's future remains uncertain.

Newcastle boss Allardyce won't give up on Anelka

Newcastle United boss Sam Allardyce is joining the race for Bolton Wanderers striker Nicolas Anelka.

The Journal says United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is to launch a shock move for Anelka this summer in an effort to bolster his attacking options, a bid which suggests the Red Devils manager is no longer interested in Newcastle's Michael Owen.

But Allardyce is also interested in Anelka and feels his close relationship with the mercurial forward could mean he manages to scupper Ferguson's plans, despite the lure of Premiership title challenges and Champions League football at Old Trafford.

The issue is complicated by the fact Allardyce's successor at Bolton, Sammy Lee, seems adamant he will not sell Anelka.

Lee said: "We don't want to lose our best players. It is my job to keep a healthy camp with the desire to be successful. The chairman is talking to current players where we can tie them up on long-term deals."

Maybe not the kind of player Newcastle need right now...

Magpies tracking Ebondo

Newcastle are among the suitors of Toulouse defender Albin Ebondo, according to France Football.

The right-back has a new three-year deal on the table at Stadium Municipal but may consider moving on to pastures new.

Ebondo has yet to make a decision on his future, however, if he does decide to leave a number of clubs will chase the 23-year-old's signature.

As well as Newcastle, Ligue 1 duo Paris Saint Germain and Bordeaux are likely to be in the running for Ebondo.

Meanwhile, Auxerre attacker Kanga Akale has emerged as a target for Toulouse.

According to L'Equipe, Les Violets have already proposed a four-year deal to the Ivory Coast international and are now readying an offer of €4million (£2.7million).

The likes of Lyon, Marseille and Atletico Madrid have previously been credited with an interest in Akale.

Newcastle are on the trail of French flier Ludovic Giuly. The Barcelona forward is resigned to leaving the Nou Camp, and is on Sam Allardyce's radar as he continues his rebuilding work at United.

Giuly, 30, is a target for Marseille, Monaco, Fiorentina and Juventus, but his commercial representative, Sebastien Riera, told the Sunday Sun: "Ludo is aware of Newcastle's interest."

Bolton's El-Hadji Diouf is a possible alternative target to Giuly for the role of right-sided attacker in Allardyce's favoured 4-3-3 formation.

But with sources suggesting Diouf may be out of contract next summer, Allardyce may prefer to wait until January to make a cut-price - and hugely controversial - raid on his old club.

Allardyce last night admitted he would be helpless to prevent Michael Owen from leaving United if another club triggers the release clause in the England striker's contract.

"There's nothing I can do about it," said Big Sam. "We are benefiting from a release clause to get Joey Barton, but could suffer because of Michael's."

But with the Premiership's top clubs likely to want further proof of his fitness, Owen may stay put at Newcastle until at least January, when his release fee - which drops by 25 per cent a year - would stand below £9 million.

Marseille right-back Habib Beye has also entered Allardyce's thinking as he looks to bolster a defence set to be strengthened by the signings of centre-backs Ben Tal Haim and David Rohzenhal this week.

Meanwhile, Joey Barton's pay-off wrangle with Manchester City "won't stand in the way of him joining Newcastle", according to his agent, Willie McKay.
