Newcastle have reignited their interest in Angers forward Nicolas Pepe, who is also a target for Watford.
The Magpies will kick off next season back in the Premier League and have been tipped to strengthen their attack this summer.
Pepe has been a long-term target for the north east club but they failed in a bid to sign him back in January.
Now their promotion is confirmed, L'Equipe has claimed that Newcastle are back in the hunt for the 21-year-old and they have lodged an official bid.
But they will face stiff competition from across Europe for Pepe, who scored three goals in 33 Ligue 1 outings this term.
