Newcastle are reportedly tracking the progress of Lyon's highly-rated young striker Yannis Tafer ahead of making a move next summer.
Tafer is regarded as one of the brightest young talents in France and has been sent out on-loan this season to Toulouse to gain first-team experience.
And according to tribalfootball.com, Newcastle are keeping a close eye on his performances this season before considering whether to make a move or the 20-year-old at the end of the campaign.
Toon manager Alan Pardew expressed his disappointment at failing to land a sufficient replacement for Andy Carroll, who joined Liverpool in a British record £35m deal in January.
Despite the current goal-scoring form of Demba Ba, Pardew is reportedly still keen to recruit a new centre-forward and has earmarked Tafer as a possible signing.
