Newcastle United are preparing a £4M bid for Leeds United striker Alan Smith.
SMITH BID
Leeds are fighting against going into administration and need all the cash they can get. Newcastle are ready to offer £4 million for the England striker when the transfer window reopens in January.
Liverpool and Manchester United are also interested, but the influence of ex-Leeds teammates Lee Bowyer and Jon Woodgate is expected to see Smith choose Newcastle if he is made available by the Yorkshire club.
