Steve Bruce is looking to bring English striker Charlie Austin to Newcastle as one of his first signings since taking over the managerial role from Rafa Benitez.
The striker is currently a Southampton player but has been shown the door by manager Ralph Hasenhüttl following a breakdown in the relationship between the two, with Southampton willing to cash in on the Englishman.
According to Football Insider, Newcastle are now interested in the striker after he was transfer listed by Southampton, and he could act as a replacement for last season's top goal scorer Ayoze Perez following his departure to Leicester City.
