Newcastle United are reportedly considering a move for Lyon forward Moussa Dembele in the upcoming transfer market.
The 25-year-old spent last season away on loan at Atletico Madrid, and the Spanish outfit had an option to make it a full-time deal in the summer for £30m, but it was not taken.
Since returning to France, the former Celtic star has made 10 appearances and scored four goals in Ligue 1, while he also played twice in the Europa League.
It has been reported by the Daily Mail that the Magpies are now considering making an offer for the striker when the transfer window opens up in a couple of weeks, and Lyon are believed to be open to the offer for the right fee.
Eddie Howe is hoping to bolster his squad in January as the club looks to fight relegation as they currently sit 19th in the Premier League table.
Newcastle have been linked with several strikers recently, including Anthony Martial and Edin Dzeko as they aim to add more attacking quality to the team.
The Magpies, who have only scored 18 goals this season in the top flight, will be back in action on December 27 against Manchester United.
