Newcastle have stepped up their interest in Besiktas hotshot Cenk Tosun, who is also a target for Tottenham.
According to reports in Turkey, both Premier League sides are keeping close tabs on the 26-year-old, who scored 20 league goals in 33 outings last term.
He has made a decent start to the new campaign, with three in his first seven, and Besiktas are bracing themselves for New Year interest.
Scouts from the Premier League have been watching Tosun regularly this term and it has been reported that representatives from Newcastle checked in on him on Friday.
