Newcastle United remain in the market for attacking reinforcements with a month to go until the transfer deadline. Eddie Howe has so far secured three new signings, but is yet to add firepower to a squad which is currently lacking in the final third.
The protracted pursuit of Sven Botman finally saw the Lille defender arrive at St James' Park last month, while a permanent deal was agreed for Matt Targett following an impressive loan spell. The Magpies also raided Burnley for a second successive window with a cut-price move agreed for Nick Pope.
However, the priority deals up front have not yet been agreed with Hugo Ekitike once again snubbing an approach from United. A host of names have unsurprisingly been linked, and here is a look at the leading contenders to sign for the Magpies according to Sky Bet.
