Newcastle are in talks over Brighton goalkeeper Carl Rushworth and are continuing discussions over a move for Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford.
Newcastle want one of the two to compete as their new number one.
Rushworth was on loan at Coventry City last season and they have already had two offers over £20million rejected for the 25-year-old who is keen to carry on playing regular first team football.
Newcastle have a long-held interest in Trafford. They have tried twice to sign the England international and Daily Mail Sport reported in April that he was back on the agenda as their top option.
However, Trafford, as deputy to Gianluigi Donnarumma at Manchester City, is more expensive at around £30million and that makes his potential purchase slightly more difficult.

But the club remains dogged in its pursuit of Manchester City and England star James Trafford
Newcastle have already signed 20-year-old France prospect Ewen Jaouen for £20m and have 34-year-old Nick Pope as their current number one but the latter could leave once they land their latest target.
The club are eager to start getting signings over the line after a disappointing window missing out on Victor Munoz to Liverpool and Johan Manzambi to Aston Villa.
They have pocketed £85m from Spurs for Sandro Tonali and are so far resisting Arsenal overtures for Bruno Guimaraes.
