Jarrod Bowen would be the "perfect signing" for Newcastle United in January, according to pundit Darren Bent.
The in-form Hull City forward has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the upcoming transfer window.
United are expected to prioritise the loan market in January, but a move for the 22-year-old could be teed up for the end of the season.
Bowen is understood to be open to the prospect of joining the Magpies, but Tottenham are one of several top-flight sides credited with an interest in the forward.
The 22-year-old has been the Tigers' top scorer for the past two seasons, and has already registered 15 goals in the current Championship campaign.
Former Sunderland and Aston Villa striker Bent believes Bowen would be a good fit on Tyneside, and has the "right mentality" to thrive in black and white.
Speaking to Football Insider, Bent said: “Yeah, I think he has got the right mentality to fit in at Newcastle as well.
“He’ll understand where they are and fit in really well there.
“Like I’ve said before I love what Newcastle are doing at the minute, I like some of the transfer targets they’re going for, I really like it, and everyone that’s been spoken about seems to fit.
“So long may it continue as at the minute Steve Bruce is working miracles and what you don’t want is players coming into the club and upsetting it all by not showing the right attitude or mentality.
“So I think he’ll be the perfect signing.”
