Allardyce successfully converted Faye to a defender during his time at Bolton and his versatility will prove an asset at St James' Park.

Sam Allardyce wants to take Abdoulaye Faye to St James' Park

The Newcastle boss has injury concerns and is still waiting to find out if Kieron Dyer and Nolberto Solano are to stay, with West Ham keen on both.

Bolton do not want to sell Faye to Allardyce but Newcastle's offer is the best so far for the 29-year-old Senegalese, whose contract is up next season. New boss Sammy Lee has brought in cover by completing a &1m deal for Portsmouth's Andy O'Brien.

Injuries to Bolton duo Kevin Davies and Ricardo Vaz Te have prompted a recall for unsettled striker El-Hadji Diouf.
