Newley promoted Newcastle are favourites to sign Burnley striker Andre Gray, according to the latest betting odds.
Leading bookmaker Bet Victor have priced the powerful 25-year-old at 5/2 to make a switch to St James’ Park before September 3.
Ronald Koeman’s Everton are priced at 4/1 to land Gray’s signature, with Midlands outfit West Brom coming in at a price of 8/1.
Rafa Benitez’ side recently earned promotion to the Premier League when they won the Championship title on the last day of the season.
There is no doubt that the Spaniard will be looking to bolster his squad ahead of the forthcoming campaign because they will be in for a tougher test ahead of their return to the top tier.
At this moment in time, Benitez has Dwight Gayle, Daryl Murphy, Aleksander Mitrovic and Ayoze Perez at his disposal.
Wolverhampton-born Gray, who possesses lightning speed and brute strength in the final third, helped Burnley survive relegation this term.
Over the course of the season, he played 36 matches in all competitions, finding the back fo the net on ten occasions, including his nine strikes in the Premier League.
Gray has only played in the top tier of English football with Burnley and he currently has one year remaining on his current contract at Turf Moor.
