Newcastle watching Anderlecht powerhouse Mitrovic

Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is being watched by Newcastle United.

The Daily Mail says Newcastle are continuing to watch Mitrovic ahead of a proposed January bid. Club scouts previously watched the 20-year-old against Galatasaray in the Champions League.

Although he failed to score in a 2-0 win, the Serbia international still had an impressive game. Mitrovic is valued at £15million and scored the equaliser for Anderlecht in their 3-3 draw with Arsenal last month. He has nine goals this season.

Alan Pardew wants someone to share the goal burden with Papiss Cisse and 6ft 3in Mitrovic is seen as a player who can also develop with good sell-on value.
