Newcastle United want to bring in Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina while they continue to chase Arsenal defender William Saliba on loan.
Lemina has one year left on his contract at St Mary's and spent last season with relegated Fulham before returning to Southampton.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are also keeping tabs on Saliba as they eye a potential loan move with his future in north London up in the air at present.
Saliba spent the second half of last campaign on loan at French outfit Nice, where he impressed in the heart of defence.
