The Magpies are keen on strengthening their squad before the transfer window slams shut, but face a challenge to do so.
Newcastle would have to either leave a goalkeeper out of their squad or offload players to make room for new signings.
As Newcastle explore possibilities to bolster their ranks, they have been linked with a move for Bournemouth winger Brooks.
The Magpies’ links with Brooks emerged after the club’s head of recruitment Steve Nickson was spotted at Bournemouth’s match against Hull City.
However, claims linking Newcastle with a move for Brooks have been rubbished, with the Tyneside outfit not looking into a deal for the 24-year-old.
The St. James’ Park outfit are not expecting a busy end to the transfer window.
Newcastle could also conclude a deal for 19-year-old forward Santiago Munoz, who plies his trade for Santos Laguna.
