Newcastle United are expected to step up their pursuit of Atalanta striker Duvan Zapata.
According to the latest reports, the Colombian striker is keen on a move to St James' Park, but the Serie A side turned down the Magpies first approach.
Eddie Howe's side are hoping to loan the striker until the end of the season, with a view to making the deal a permanent one, but Atalanta rejected the loan bid, which had a £22million option to buy.
