Newcastle told to increase bid for Nicolai Jorgensen after offering £14m for Feyenoord and Denmark striker

Newcastle United have been told to improve their £14million offer for Feyenoord striker Nicolai Jorgensen.

Rafa Benitez has targeted the Denmark international after Leicester City insisted on at least £20m for one of their other options Islam Slimani.

Jorgensen, who has 28 caps, has scored nine goals this season.

Newcastle are looking to sell Aleksandar Mitrovic though Brighton's offer has so far fallen short of their £15m valuation.

West Brom have also shown interest but are working on other options including Watford's Troy Deeney.
