Heerenveen offered their hitman Finnbogason to Newcastle in the summer for £5m - but the Toon said no.

But now they could be about to go back on their word as their attempts to sign a forward in the summer came to nothing.

Finnbogason's impressive goal-scoring record has moved him up the list of striker targets, according to The Journal.

The 24-year-old has scored 30 goals in 37 appearances for Heerenveen.

But it's six strikes in his opening four games - including two against Ajax - that have caught the Magpies' eye.

Newcastle signed Loic Remy on a season-long loan but that was their solitary big-name addition.
