Gus Poyet: "We still want him here and we are going to try to get him.
"We have been in contact with him but at the moment we are told that he is being considered for the Newcastle first team so we'll have to see.
"We know that he has started jogging, so as soon as he joins in training we will get in contact with Newcastle again. Everyone knows he really likes Brighton and he was happy here and we are working on bringing him back."
