NEWCASTLE UNITED have added PSG star Goncalo Ramos to their list of striker targets, it is reported.
The Magpies are prioritising their pursuit of Slovenian striker Benjamin Sesko, but view Ramos as a possible alternative should they miss out to Man Utd.

The Daily Mail report Newcastle could go back in for the Portuguese, who they considered signing from Benfica in 2022.
They ended up signing Alexander Isak in that window instead, and Ramos moved to PSG the following summer.
Since then he has struggled to fully stake his claim to a spot in the starting line-up, but did contribute to their Champions League-winning campaign last season.
He netted three goals in that run, including a 93rd-minute goal to seal their 4-2 victory over Man City in January.
In total, Ramos has notched 33 goals in 86 appearances for the French giants.
The 24-year-old would have some hefty shoes to fill, being viewed as an alternative to Sesko in Newcastle‘s bid to support or even replace Isak up front.
The Swede cemented himself as one of the best forwards in world football before he announced his intentions to leave the club last month.
Liverpool have seen a £110million deal knocked back for the 25-year-old, but are not out of the race.

He is not the only alternative option either, with the north-east outfit also testing the waters for Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins.
Newcastle are still being rivalled for Sesko’s signature by Man Utd, with the Red Devils reportedly confident that they are his preferred destination.
But that did not stop the Magpies from launching a £70million move for the RB Leipzig man yesterday.
Sesko, 22, has scored 39 goals in 87 appearances since arriving in Germany from RB Salzburg two years ago.
