Dyer was to complete a £6m move to Upton Park yesterday after he passed his medical in east London, but the deal was dramatically delayed when the Magpies informed the West Ham board they were increasing the asking price to £8m for the England international. The request was turned down and Dyer was informed the deal was off by Upton Park officials and that he had to head back to the North-East.
A London source said: “Kieron was due to sign for West Ham on Friday but Newcastle suddenly increased the asking price, which West Ham refused to pay. As a result Newcastle have refused to sell the player and West Ham have reluctantly told Kieron that he would have to return to the North-East.”
And as confusion surrounded the future of Dyer, Newcastle were also closing in on the capture of Spanish Under-21 international defender Jose Enrique, who is set to sign in a £4m deal from La Liga’s Villarreal.
Where this leaves 28-year-old Dyer, who declined to comment last night, remains to be seen, and the midfielder could refuse to return to Tyneside after his car and home were targeted by angry supporters last weekend, although the deal could still be revived if the Magpies lower their asking price.
The collapse of the transfer would also be a major blow to manager Sam Allardyce, who has always sympathised with the player’s wish to move closer to his young family in Ipswich and who has already invested the money he thought he was getting for Dyer in his replacement Alan Smith, who was confirmed as a United player yesterday.
Allardyce revealed that, following the capture of Smith and Brazilian defender Caçapa, he still wants to make another three signings before the close of the transfer window. But with Dyer’s transfer fee seemingly lost, it remains to be seen if he has the flexibility to do that.
Thats ok lol, Its waste Dyer's time but £8m is too much for him :no2:....and Greedy Newcastle!:nod:
