Gyokeres left Coventry for Sporting CP two years ago and has not looked back since then.
Per The Mail, Newcastle have been scouting Bassette and may be looking to make a winter or summer move.
He joined Coventry in August from French side Caen, where he had been playing first team football since age 16.
Bassette, who is 6ft 1in, is a similar size to Gyokeres and is said to be similar in his play style.
