Newcastle United are showing interest in West Ham's Senegalese striker Diafra Sakho.

The 25-year-old was a £4million signing from Metz last summer and scored 12 goals in 26 games.

Steve McClaren wants Wolfsburg's £9m striker Bas Dost but his other options Charlie Austin and Saido Berahino may be difficult to fit into his budget. Sakho is being considered as an alternative.

West Ham may listen to offers as new manager Slaven Bilic looks to shake up his attack.

They have made an improved offer for Marseille's £12million-rated attacking midfielder Dimitri Payet and hold an interest in Austin and Chelsea's Loic Remy.

They remain keen on reprising a loan deal for Carl Jenkinson despite Sunderland agreeing a £2million deal with Arsenal for the right-back.

Jenkinson is open to a move to Sunderland but it is understood his preference would be to remain at Upton Park.

McClaren's priority is Wolfsburg's £9m striker Bas Dost (centre), the 26-year-old Dutchman
