Alan Smith To Sign For Newcastle
Manchester United's Alan Smith is set to sign for Newcastle United
after Sam Allardyce reportedly won the race for his
signature.
The former Leeds United star, who has been used in midfield as well
as in attack during his career, has expressed a desire to remain
with United, but it now looks as if he will be moving North to St
James' Park.
Smith's United career suffered from an horrific leg break during a
match against Liverpool, which kept him out for close to a year,
but he fought back bravely and played his part in the closing
stages of United's Premiership winning season.
He has attacted interest from Aston Villa and Tottenham, but it
seems Newcastle have won the race to sign Smith for around
£4m.
The prospect of a midfield duo of Smith and Joey Barton will ensure
United will not be seen as a soft touch next season.
