Newcastle United interested in Aleksandar Mitrovic?

Newcastle United will reportedly make a bid for Anderlecht striker Aleksandar Mitrovic during this summer's transfer window.

The Serbia international, who scored 27 goals in all competitions last season, has been linked with moves to Swansea City and Portuguese side Benfica.

Belgian paper Het Laatste Nieuws reports that the Magpies are preparing to offer up to €18m (£12.8m) for the 20-year-old striker, who it claims is at the top of new manager Steve McClaren's shopping list.

Mitrovic joined the Belgian club from Partizan Belgrade in 2013.
