Feyenoord striker Nicolai Jorgensen may be a prime target for Rafa Benitez, but the Magpies initial bid of £12m has been rejected by the Rotterdam club.
Reported by Shields Gazette, it is expected that the Magpies will make a new and improved offer for the Danish international striker as they look to address their current goal scoring drought in the Premier League.
Former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder and now Feyenoord manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst was asked about Newcastle's bid after last night's draw against Utrecht and hinted that an improved offer could see Jorgensen depart.
