Joey Barton is set to sign for Newcastle United on Monday if club captain Scott Parker completes a move to West Ham, according to reports.

The Manchester City midfielder was suspended by the club at the end of last season after a training ground bust-up with Ousmane Dabo.

According to Sky Sports News, Barton has a £5.5 million release clause and Newcastle are understood to be willing to meet the fee.

But the move depends on Parker successfully making the switch to the Hammers after being linked with the east London club last week.

Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce has been busy since taking over at St James Park - ensuring that striker Michael Owen stays at the club and seeing defender Titus Bramble depart.

Signing Barton will be the former Bolton boss' first acquisition for his new club since taking over from Glenn Roeder at the end of last season.
