Newcastle have ramped up their interest in £10million-rated Holland star Luuk de Jong.
According to reports in Holland, Newcastle, who are third in the Barclays Premier League win following Saturday's 2-1 victory over Everton, have watched the 21-year-old FC Twente striker on a number of occasions this season.
De Jong is regarded as one of the hottest prospects in the Erdevisie and has also attracted interest from Liverpool.
Toon owner Mike Ashley is keen to avoid last summer's disappointing transfer window in which they failed to land a long-term replacement for Andy Carroll who left for Liverpool in a £35m deal in January.
And De Jong, who has recently broken into the Dutch national side, has been earmarked among the club's top targets when the window re-opens.
De Jong has scored nine goals in 15 appearances for FC Twente this season, and broke his international duck after finding the back of the net in Holland's 2-0 win over Finland in September.

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is hoping to unload several players in the January transfer window.
Pardew will listen to offers for goalkeeper Steve Harper, 36, who is on loan at Brighton.
And the Toon want Celtic to turn fellow keeper 23-year-old Fraser Forster’s loan at Parkhead into a permanent deal. Hungarian Under-21 international defender Tamas Kadar has not lived up to his early promise and will be available.
