£5m Lallana deal to go ahead.
The Sun reports that Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has flown into the Toon’s training ground in order to discuss transfer budgets with manager Alan Pardew.
Pardew is said to be interested in a £5m bid for Southampton midfielder, Adam Lallana, among other targets, and has met with Ashley to discuss those targets, and the money available to him in the window.
Club captain, Kevin Nolan, is optimistic that funds will be made available: “Hopefully the talks between the owner and the gaffer went well and we'll be seeing new faces soon.”
