Newcastle have had an enquiry about Dominic Solanke rebuffed as Bournemouth do not want to sell him this month, according to the Telegraph.
Newcastle manager and former Cherries boss Eddie Howe is a long-standing admirer of Solanke, having brought him to the Vitality Stadium.
The 26-year-old was signed from Liverpool five years ago in a £19 million deal and Bournemouth would stand to make a huge profit on their investment, but are determined to keep him until at least the summer.
Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola is also reluctant to sanction a deal with forwards Dango Ouattara and Antoine Semenyo at the Africa Cup of Nations.
