Newcastle targeting Leeds striker Kemar Roofe

Newcastle United are targeting Leeds striker Kemar Roofe.

The Mirror says Rafa Benitez is considering a move for Roofe — if funds for new signings are made available to him.

The 25-year-old has scored 13 goals in 18 games for the Championship promotion chasers.

And Toon boss Benitez knows he'd bring the firepower he is looking to add at St James' Park.

Leeds, however, are well aware that Roofe's goals will be vital to them if they want to reach the Premier League.
