Newcastle are reportedly planning to address their goal-scoring issues by making a move for Bologna striker Mattia Destro in the January transfer window.
The Italy international has seemingly fallen out favour at his club side and has been named on the bench for the previous four games, which has alerted the Magpies over a possible swoop.
According to CalcioMercato, Bologna are open to selling the 27-year-old in the next window after the striker fell out of manager Filippo Inzaghi's plans this season and would be available for a cut-price fee.
Newcastle have been previously linked with Destro and it was reported in the summer that Rafa Benitez had cast his eye over the Italian after failing to land any of his priority targets in Alassane Plea, Garry Rodrigues or Willian Jose.
