Newcastle are set to tempt Evertons resolve with an enquiry for winger Anthony Gordon and are in talks over a deal for Flamengo teenager Matheus Franca.
The Magpies also remain interested in signing West Ham defender Harrison Ashby after seeing an approach rejected earlier this month.
But the exit of striker Chris Wood to Nottingham Forest has focused minds in the forward areas and we understand a versatile frontman - as opposed to a striker - is now the priority.
Gordon, 21, is high on their list and, while it is expected Everton will demand a fee that could prove prohibitive, Newcastle will nonetheless test the waters.
