Newcastle United are being linked with a move for FC Utrecht striker Sebastien Haller.

The French youth international is the latest name to emerge on the Magpies' transfer radar with the Magpies reportedly submitting an inquiry to the Eredivisie side over his availability.

Haller, who has also attracted interest from Premier League sides Everton and Tottenham this summer, is already in talks with Sporting Lisbon but, according to L'Equipe , Rafael Benitez is desperate to bring him to St James' Park.

The Newcastle boss has made his desire to sign a new striker clear and is hopeful of concluding a deal for a new frontman ahead of deadline day but he will face serious competition to prise him away from Utrecht.

As well as Everton and Spurs, Crystal Palace, Southampton and Swansea City have all been linked with a move for the 22-year-old, who has already netted two in two for his side this season.

According to a recent report in Voetbal International , Utrecht could demand as much as £7m for their prized asset.
