Newcastle United have contacted Marseille over the possibility of signing forward Clinton N'Jie on loan as the club look to bolster their squad in the January transfer window.
The 25-year-old has made just five appearances for Les Olympiens this season in Ligue 1 and hasn't featured in the starting eleven for the club since the end of November.
N'Jie has fallen out of favour at Marseille in recent months with manager Rudi Garcia preferring the likes of Florian Thauvin, Valere Germain and Kostas Mitroglou leading the line for the French side.
Reports in the Daily Mail suggest that the Cameroonian forward could join Newcastle on a loan deal in the coming weeks with an option to make the deal permanent in the summer.
