Newcastle are planning a bid for Olympique Marseille striker Bamba Dieng.
The Senegal international is currently with his national team preparing for the African Cup of Nations.
Newcastle are weighing up whether to make a move this month or wait until the summer, says The Sun.
Dieng, 21, broke into Marseille's first team this season and was rewarded with an improved contract last month.
Dieng is a product of the FC Diambars set-up in Senegal that was co-founded by Patrick Vieira in 2000.
He moved to Marseille in 2020 and won his first full international cap last October.
