Newcastle United are reportedly keeping tabs on Mainz striker Yoshinori Muto as Rafael Benitez looks to add goals to his side ahead of next season.
Despite the North East side finishing an impressive 10th in the Premier League following their return to the division, the Magpies were amongst the league's lowest scorers, with Italian media outlet Calciomercato (via TalkSport) reporting that the club have identified the Japanese international as the man who could be their answer to their lack of goals.
Muto has been plying his trade in the Bundesliga since his move from FC Tokyo prior to the 2015/16 season, with this campaign being the 25-year-old's best return by way of goals and assists, scoring eight and providing a further four.
