Newcastle United have been told that they will have to pay Leeds United at least £11 million if they want to sign striker Alan Smith in the summer.

SMITH - £11 MILLION

The news came after Leeds' board announced that their players would not be allowed to leave on the cheap, even if they were to be relegated at the end of the season.
Smith has been in fine form this season, and Leeds boss Eddie Gray revealed that his improved behaviour is a result of a series of heart-to-hearts.
Gray revealed: "I have had several chats with Alan and stressed upon him the importance of playing with discipline.
"He has worked hard at curbing that side of his game and I'm sure that helped him get a recall to the England squad for last week's friendly in Sweden. Alan is just as aggressive but now that aggression is channelled into what he does well."
