Age: 22 Position: Forward Club: Bordeaux International Caps (Goals): 6 (1) Estimated Market Value: £3-4 million Although Newcastle have expanded their horizons recently, the French market remains chief scout Graham Carr's favourite hunting ground - and Bordeaux forward Diego Rolan has certainly pricked his interest. The six-cap Uruguay international, who has scored one goal to date for his country, moved to France from Defensor Sporting in 2013 after an impressive South American Youth Championship and he has continued to improve at Bordeaux. A return of 17 goals from 61 league games is decent, while the 22-year-old also has the pace to operate as a wide forward or even as a winger. Reportedly a transfer target for Stoke City, it would likely take a fee of just £3-4 million to bring Rolan to the Premier League - an investment that could prove brilliant value for money considering he would have sell-on potential.
