Newcastle United Football Club have set their sights on Jason Koumas.

The Wales international is struggling to force his way into the Wigan Athletic side this season, and Roberto Martinez is prepared to let him leave on loan.

Former club West Bromwich Albion would love to take Koumas back to the Hawthorns for the rest of the season, but they face competition from their Championship rivals.

Reports in The Sun claim Chris Hughton is keen to add the 30-year-old to his squad at St James Park, as he looks for an instant return to the Premier League with the Magpies.
