Cheick Tiote is set to leave Newcastle United at the end of the season.

The Sunday Mirror says the tough­-tackling Ivory Coast international will be a target for both West Ham United and Southampton if Newcastle decide to sell.

The asking price will be around £7.5million for the man who helped his country win the African Cup of Nations earlier this season.

Tiote - who will be 29 in June - has two years left on his contract and is unlikely to agree to an extension.
