Newcastle ready to loan Alan Smith out

Newcastle are willing to let Alan Smith leave the club on loan.

Newcastle are ready to let Alan Smith leave the club on loan, according to The Mirror.

Smith has struggled to hold down a regular first-team place in recent seasons and he could be set to leave St James' Park in a bid to gain match practice.

West Ham have been touted as a possible destination as Hammers boss Sam Allardyce signed Smith for Newcastle when he was manager there in 2007.

His former club Leeds have also been linked with a move for the 30-year-old.

A possible stumbling block to any move could be the former Manchester United player's wage demands.

Newcastle are keen for any interested clubs to subsidise a substantial part of Smith's £60,000-per-week contract.

Smith made just fourteen appearances for Newcastle last season and his input this term has been limited to one substitute appearance.
