Newcastle are considering a move for Russia sharpshooter Alexander Kerzhakov - after missing out on top target Dirk Kuyt.
Toon boss Glenn Roeder has been pursuing Dutch international Kuyt for the entire summer but has conceded defeat in landing the Feyenoord man, who is set for a £10million switch to Liverpool.

Clubcall understands that Newcastle could now switch their attention to Zenit St Petersburg frontman Kerzhakov.
The Russian international is also believed to be a target for UEFA Cup holders Sevilla.

Kerzhakov, 23, is one of the most predatory strikers in his home country with a record of 95 goals in 197 matches.

The pacy frontman, a similar type of goalpoacher as Michael Owen, was voted Russian player of the year last season and finished the previous campaign as top scorer with 17 goals in 27 matches.
