Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United side are known to want a new striker in January.
Boakye has found the back of the net on 14 occasions in just 13 appearances in Serbia’s top flight this season, with his talents now attracting the attentions of clubs across the Premier League.
West Bromwich Albion are also said to be interested in the 24-year-old by ESPN, meaning Newcastle could face a battle for the striker’s signature.
Rafael Benitez is known to want another forward in January, as the Magpies have struggled for goals this term.
Dwight Gayle has scored fairly frequently of late, but he has not been backed up by any other player.
Joselu and Ayoze Perez have failed to impress, while Aleksandar Mitrovic has barely been used.
Newcastle are now keen to see if Boakye could be the man they are missing, as he would come to St. James’ Park in red hot form.
Newcastle need to find a clinical forward, as they are now winless in seven matches, and concerns that they could be relegated are growing.
