Newcastle challenge Leicester for Anderlecht striker Alexander Mitrovic

Newcastle United are showing interest in Anderlecht striker Alexander Mitrovic.

The Daily Mail says Newcastle's chief scout Graham Carr was a keen spectator as Mitrovic scored once again for Anderlecht on Wednesday night.

Carr was not alone, with Leicester City also represented in the stands but Newcastle believe they hold the upper hand should they match Anderlecht's £12million valuation. Leicester have already been rejected by HNK Rijeka striker Andrej Kramaric.

Mitrovic, the 20-year-old Serbia forward, grabbed the equaliser in the 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund, his 10th goal of the season.
