The Daily Mail says the Toon are working off a three-man shortlist, with two Premier League players figuring prominently.
Chelsea striker Liam Delap and Tottenham's Dominic Solanke are both on Newcastle's radar, as is Inter Milan youngster Francesco Pio Esposito.
All three players are regarded highly by their respective clubs, though Newcastle are prepared to splash out big to make a major centre-forward signing this summer.
