Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is chasing Burnley striker Danny Ings for January.
The Telegraph says Pardew will push for the signing of a new striker in the January transfer window and has asked for Burnley's England Under-21 international Ings.
Although Newcastle have been tracking Ings for over a year, they have never made a formal bid for the former Bournemouth and Dorchester Town striker.
That may well change next month as Newcastle suspect Ings wants to leave and will test Burnley's resolve to hang on to a player who only has six months remaining on his contract.
