A new striker to challenge and support first choice hitman Callum Wilson has been a priority for Newcastle throughout the ongoing transfer window.
But the Magpies have been left frustrated in their chase for a new striker, having missed out on several of their initial top targets.
Newcastle are still exploring potential deals for a number of forwards on their wish list and Sturm Graz star Hojlund is one of the players they are keeping tabs on.
The 19-year-old is linked with leaving the Austrian outfit this summer amidst interest from a clutch of clubs including Newcastle, Serie A side Atalanta and Belgian giants Club Brugge.
And it appears the competition for the Denmark Under-19 international’s signature if getting fiercer, as according to Belgian daily Het Nieuwsblad, Spanish side Celta Vigo are also keen on him.
Los Celestes are on the lookout for attacking reinforcements and Hojlund is one player that is firmly on their radar.
Both Atalanta and Club Brugge are claimed to have made offers for the Sturm Graz starlet but his asking price is continuing to rise amidst growing interest in his services.
