Newcastle make Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrovic No1 summer target

Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is emerging as a priority target for Newcastle United this summer.

The Evening Chronicle says the 20-year-old Serbian forward is set to quit Belgium this summer after notching 13 goals in 26 games and United are preparing a summer sales pitch to the £15million-rated striker - who will not be short of suitors.

At 6ft 3ins United believe he would have the physical presence to make an immediate impact in the Premier League, and he has already played Champions League and Europa League football in a fine campaign.

Arsenal have also been linked with Mitrovic.
