Newcastle hope to recoup around £4million for a player who is out of contract next summer. 

They expect to lose Tiote while Moussa Sissoko, Georginio Wijnaldum, Andros Townsend and Papiss Cisse are also weighing up options.

Newcastle would like to keep Townsend though he has a relegation release clause, while Cisse is talking to Lekhwiya from the Qatar Stars League who are managed by former Manchester City and Southampton midfielder Djamel Belmadi.

Albion, meanwhile, are also interested in Aston Villa defender Ciaran Clark with Swansea still keen on James Chester.
