Newcastle United are looking to add another striker to their squad following the departure of Papiss Cisse.

The Magpies have already signed Dwight Gayle from Crystal Palace and still have Aleksandar Mitrovic, Ayoze Perez, Manu Riviere and Adam Armstrong on their books.

But Cisse’s exit will see Rafa Benitez move for a replacement in the coming days as he looks to ensure there is ample cover in the striker department this season ahead of their Sky Bet Championship promotion bid.

United will listen to offers for Riviere and there has been interest from French side Nancy over the summer so far.

However, with Gayle the type of forward that prefers a strike partner and Mitrovic suspended for the first four games of the season, Newcastle are in the market for another goal-getter.

Newcastle will depart for their training camp in Ireland this weekend but there is still plenty of work going on behind the scenes.

The Magpies will look to tie up a deal for Arsenal’s Issac Hayden and the club remain in talks for Blackburn Rovers centre-half Grant Hanley.

And as United look to find the right balance in their squad ahead of there could still be some departures before the summer transfer deadline.
