Standing at 6ft 5ins, Dost is merely two inches shorter than lanky Peter Crouch.
Yet, as the video demonstrates, his movement off the ball seems far more natural and fluid than his British counterpart.
Blessed with the intangible ability to be in the right place at the right time, a large percentage of his monster haul of goals saw him finish off loose balls in the area.
But he also offers Newcastle an attacking threat from set pieces – something fans will be delighted about given their historically bad record in that department during their previous stint in the Premier League.
Coach Rafa Benitez tried lure the Dutchman to the north-east last summer, according to The Chronicle, but supporters will be hoping the Spaniard can seal the deal this time around as pre-season fixtures begin to loom large.
