Newcastle are set to battle LaLiga champions Atletico Madrid for Alexandre Lacazette, according to reports.
The Arsenal forward is out of contract at the Emirates next summer and will be free to open talks with clubs in January.
According to Spanish outlet La Razon, Atletico could look to Lacazette as a cheaper backup for Red Bull Salzburg wonderkid Karim Adeyemi, who is being tracked by a number of Europe's elite.
The 19-year-old is one of the most sought-after young talents in world football after the starlet's superb start to the season, in which he already has 15 goals to his name.
