Leeds United reportedly eyed Real Madrid’s Gonzalo Garcia last summer - and he is now said to be in Newcastle United’s sights.
It was again claimed the Whites had looked at Garcia in November, when the Spain youth international was linked with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Garcia has scored six goals in 32 appearances for Real Madrid this season, but has been afforded just six league starts.

Gonzalo Garcia linked with Premier League again
According to TEAMtalk, Garcia has emerged as a serious option for Newcastle as the summer window edges closer.
The Magpies are said to be among the clubs monitoring his situation, with sources having reportedly indicated he could be available.
It has been claimed he is viewed as a player capable of thriving in the Premier League by Newcastle staff.
Leeds United links to forwards
Leeds have been linked with a raft of forwards and it would hardly be a surprise to see links with Garcia resurface.
He would add a different dimension to the Whites attack and the top end of the pitch is seemingly an area the club want to strengthen.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha have proven to be shrewd additions, although Joel Piroe has struggled to replicate his Championship form in the Premier League.

The latter was linked with a move away from West Yorkshire in January and his future could come under the microscope in the summer. Mateo Joseph and Joe Gelhardt, meanwhile, could reportedly be offloaded when they return from their respective loan spells at Mallorca and Hull City.
It remains to be seen how Leeds approach the summer window and their business will be dictated by their fate in the Premier League.
Survival will allow for ambitious investment but sacrifices may be required if the club are relegated back to the Championship.
