Mohammed Abdellaoue is a target for Newcastle United Football Club.

Alan Pardew knows he must strengthen his squad when the window reopens, and although much focus has been on his injury depleted defence, a striker remains a priority.

United lost Andy Carroll to Liverpool last January and have never really replaced the England ace, but they hope to do so next month when they could try and land Abdellaoue.

The 26-year-old Norway international has scored eight league goals in twelve appearances for Hannover, and the German club are said to rate him at around £7million.
