Newcastle United are said to be trying to do a deal for West Bromwich Albion forward Salomon Rondon.
Newcastle have made signing a new number nine their top priority this summer.
The Magpies have already seen a move for Alassane Plea and they are now turning their attentions to snapping up West Bromwich Albion forward Rondon.
Newcastle are in talks for Rondon, but whether they will pay the Baggies’ asking price still remains to be seen.
If Newcastle do fail to bring in the target-man, it seems that a Premier League forward is on Benitez’s radar.
Newcastle are said to have drawn up two strikers to target, if they can’t get Rondon, although both deals will be loans.
Liverpool’s Divock Origi is believed to be one of the potential targets, as reported by the Chronicle.
