Newcastle will attempt to bring in Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney this summer, with out of favour forward Dwight Gayle potentially being offered as part of a deal to secure the Scotsman.
The Cottagers are believed to be targeting the West Brom loanee to front their squad rebuild following the club's relegation to the Championship, with the Magpies ready to capitalise on the Londoners' interest.
Gayle has enjoyed a fruitful season at the Hawthorns, amassing 21 goals as they push for a return to the top flight at the first time of asking.
Newcastle have been monitoring Cairney's situation at Craven Cottage for a while, with the 28-year-old's opener against Everton on Saturday demonstrating why the former have made him a priority for next season.
