Newcastle are hoping to further improve their squad during the January transfer window as manager Alan Pardew attempts to bring two more strikers to the club in the New Year. The Magpies are yet to lose in the league this season and currently sit in third place behind the two Manchester clubs.

Liverpool's director of football Damien Comolli has reportedly targeted FC Twente striker Luuk de Jong as a future signing after a number of scouting visits to watch him in action. The 21-year-old Dutch international has been one of Twente's stand-out players and helped the club win the Eredivisie title in his first season.

Fulham could be set to beat London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham to the signature of Bryan Ruiz after they had £7. 5m bid rejected on Thursday. The 26-year-old winger initially attracted the interest of Arsenal and Spurs with both clubs watching him in action last week.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is preparing a move for FC Twente winger Bryan Ruiz.   Ruiz has been in good form in Holland over the past couple of seasons, and Redknapp is a keen admirer of the player, and has been linked with a move for the winger over the last few weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur have approached the agent of Bryan Ruiz over a possible transfer, according to the FC Twente striker.   Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has been linked with a number of strikers over the summer, but has failed to agree a deal with their respective clubs.
