Newcastle United are set to make fresh contact with the entourage of Inter Milan striker Stevan Jovetic on the insistence of Rafael Benitez.

Jovetic is surplus to requirements at Inter and his representatives have been talking to clubs across Europe, including La Liga outfit Sevilla, to find a solution for the striker.




Newcastle have also been interested and a delegation from the newly promoted Premier League outfit met the striker’s camp last week, but Jovetic snubbed the offer from the Magpies.

However, the north east giants have not given up hope of bringing Jovetic to Tyneside before next week’s transfer deadline day and are set to put in fresh efforts to sign him.
 


According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, Newcastle are expected to establish fresh contact with the striker’s camp on Thursday and hope to convince him to join them this summer.
