Newcastle striker Lomano Tresor Lua Lua has rejected a move to West Brom. Lua-Lua had talks with the Baggies after Newcastle gave Albion the green-light after accepting a bid of around £2million for the Congo international. Lua-Lua's representative today told the Evening Mail "He won't be signing for West Brom.

"It was nice to meet up with the people at the club but it just wasn't the right move for him - we felt it wouldn't have been in his best interests.

"They put their case forward but we have decided not to accept their offer."

It is now likely Lua-Lua will sign for Portsmouth, where he spent three months on-loan last season.
