Newcastle have been linked with in-form Guinea striker Francois Kamano, who has made a terrific start to the season with Bordeaux.
Kamano's winning goal against Lille on Wednesday was his fifth of the Ligue 1 season - the same number as Paris Saint-Germain pair Neymar and Edinson Cavani, and only one fewer than league top scorer Florian Thauvin.
He has also scored twice in the Europa League to put him on seven goals in all competitions. This is a very rich vein of form for a striker who only scored eight in the entirety of last season.
