Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is back on the agenda of Newcastle United.
Toon chief scout Graham Carr has continued their summer market planning, despite the lack of a permanent head coach.
The Northern Echo says signing a new centre-forward is seen as a major priority and Aubameyang remains a leading target.
The Borussia Dortmund striker was the subject of sustained interest from Newcastle in each of the last two summer transfer windows, but a deal could not be agreed on either occasion.
