Bendtner isn’t being considered, while Manchester City’s Craig Bellamy and free agent Jay Bothroyd are not understood to be targets.
Pardew was today tight-lipped on the identity of the club’s targets, but he did say: “We’re still looking hard for a striker, and we have got our eyes on every striker who is available at the moment.
“But they have to be the right fit for this club. There is a certain genre they have to fit into.”
