Newcastle plan January bid for Swansea striker Gomis

Newcastle United are eyeing Swansea CityBafetimbi Gomis.

Gomis only moved to Swansea in the summer from Olympique Lyon, but has struggled to compete with Wilfried Bony for a place in manager Garry Monk's first team.

The Sun says Newcastle are keen to tempt Gomis north in January as manager Alan Pardew seeks a new centre-forward signing.

Gomis' contract with Swansea runs to 2018, but it's understood it also carries a buyout clause.

However, Newcastle may still struggle to convince Gomis to make the move with Papiss Cisse and Emmanuel Riviere well established as Pardew's first-choice strikers.
