Controversy surrounding the future of Jermaine Jenas could lead to the sale of Luis Boa Morte to Newcastle.
If indeed the unhappy Jenas is sold for £10m to Spurs, Arsenal or Manchester United, Newcastle are likely to return to Craven Cottage with an improved offer for Boa Morte.
The Portuguese speed king is valued at £5m at least, but so far Newcastle have only offered £3m.
The possible sale of Jenas will give Newcastle more cash to spend in the transfer market.
