Newcastle are struggling for goals under Steve Bruce and could view Cissé as a useful short-term option.

Club record signing Joelinton has just one goal in 10 appearances, while striking alternatives Andy Carroll and Yoshinori Muto remain scoreless.

The former Senegal international spent four seasons at St James’ Park between 2012-16, scoring 37 goals.
