10 Copa America Players Newcastle Could Realistically Target

8. Charles Aranguiz (Chile)

Age: 26 Position: Central-Midfielder Club: Internacional International Caps (Goals): 34 (4) Estimated Market Value: £6-8 million Chile are one of the best-drilled South American teams right now and they boast talents such as Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal - as well as Charles Aranguiz. The 26-year-old midfielder has already briefly experienced English football with Ipswich Town during a loan spell in 2008 and his playmaking and passing abilities are extremely highly rated. Able to operate as a right-winger, a defensive-midfielder or as a playmaker, Aranguiz could seamlessly slot into the Magpies side - and his current club Internacional are likely to accept a bid of between £6-8 million for his services. Capped 34 times by Chile - as well as being a member of their 2014 World Cup squad - and having made 281 league appearances during his career already, Aranguiz also boasts plenty of experience despite being just 26.
