Bonne has scored six league goals this campaign and is the Addicks’ joint top scorer along with Chelsea loanee Conor Gallagher

The striker has started Charlton’s last 13 league games but could face more competition now that Lyle Taylor has recovered from a knee injury.

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce has four strikers on his books in the shape of Joelinton, Andy Carroll, Dwight Gayle and Yoshinori Muto.

Gayle and Muto have both been linked with moves away from Tyneside in January.
