Fenerbahce have joined the race to sign Feyenoord star striker Nicolai Jorgensen.

According to the Turkish outlet Fotomac, Fenerbahce are weighing up a bid for the Denmark international.

Per the source, the Yellow Canaries’ primary target is Bas Dost and will only make a move for Jorgensen if they are unable to land the former Sporting forward.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United have also been linked with a move for the Denmark forward.

According to the Chronicle, Newcastle tried to sign Jorgensen back in January and have maintained their interest in the 27-year-old.

Jorgensen is currently on international duty with the Denmark national team at the 2018 World Cup.

Jorgensen was rested for Denmark’s 0-0 draw with France but is expected to return to the starting eleven for the Round of 16 clash with Croatia on Sunday.
