Newcastle are interested in signing the Genk striker Mbwana Samatta this summer.
According to a report from Turkish outlet Ajansspor, the player could be signed for a fee of around £10.5m.
Newcastle need to improve their attacking unit and they have been linked with Joelinton as well.
Rondon and Perez have left the club and Bruce will have to replace those two adequately or Newcastle could struggle badly next year.
The Magpies are already weak in midfield and defence. Their attack was their strength during the second half of last season.
Both Perez and Rondon were outstanding for Benitez’s side.
