Newcastle United are interested in Watford striker Danny Graham.
The Evening Chronicle says, however, the Magpies could be pipped for his services by moneybags QPR.
With cash to spend following the sale of Andy Carroll, United are determined to strengthen their forward-line for next season.
But while Toon fan Graham - who started his career at Northern League Chester-le-Street - is keen to return to the North East, Mike Ashley's strict wage structure means the club are a long way off agreeing terms with the frontman.
