Nice forward Amine Gouiri is interesting Newcastle United.

The i says NNewcastle already have two alternatives in mind for Reims forward Hugo Ekitike, should a move for the young French striker fall through.

Gouiri has been scouted by Newcastle and 'fits the age profile and requirements'.

Armando Broja, who spent last season on loan at Southampton from Chelsea, is 'another possible option'.

Gouiri, 22, bagged 10 goals and nine assists for Nice in Ligue 1 last term while Broja, 20, scored nine goals for the Saints last term.
