The 20 year old Serbian international is considered one of the hottest prospects in European football and has a £15m price-tag and given the Magpies strong start to the season perhaps owner Mike Ashley is ready to back such a move.
Pardew has been overly reliant on Papiss Cisse for an end product this term though new signing Ayoze Perez has certainly impressed.
Cisse has netted seven Premier League goals, including a brace against Chelsea on the weekend, despite making just four starts and Pardew is looking to Mitrovic to further aid their push to retain a foothold at the upper end of the Premier League table.
Mitrovic bagged 16 goals in his first season in the Belgian capital and has already racked up a dozen goals in all competitions this term and has the physical presence to blossom in the English top tier.
