A number of Premier League clubs are hoping to snatch the Dutch international this summer, but according to AD, Newcastle United are the most concrete and have already held talks with the striker.

The Premier League club, who appointed former Twente boss Steve McClaren as their new coach on Wednesday, are searching for a new striker this summer and see Dost as the perfect number nine. Any deal would likely climb above the £10 million mark.
