Newcastle want more for Dyer

Kieron Dyer's move to West Ham could be back on.

The clubs agreed a £6 million deal for the England international last month, but Newcastle pulled out at the last minute.

"We decided he was under-valued" - Sam Allardyce

Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce has revealed he increased the asking price, but the Hammers have refused to budge.

However, Newcastle may be offered a compromise by receiving the fee in full rather than in instalments.

Allardyce said: "We decided he was under-valued. We escalated the valuation to what we thought was realistic and West Ham did not want to roll with it.

"If anything else happens in terms of West Ham increasing their offer, then great. If they don't then clearly they don't value him as highly as we do."
