10 Copa America Players Newcastle Could Realistically Target

6. Jesus Corona (Mexico)

Age: 22 Position: Winger/Forward Club: FC Twente International Caps (Goals): 7 (1) Estimated Market Value: £4 million Continuing the theme of raiding his former club for talent then McClaren could also look to bring Jesus Corona across from FC Twente as well. Although 22-year-old winger Corona only signed for Twente after McClaren left the club for a second time in 2013, the former England manager's contacts in Holland could help him to make a move for this exciting talent. Capped seven times already by Mexico, Corona rejected a move to Barcelona in 2013 in order to progress his game at Twente - and he could now be interested in a Premier League switch. With 11 goals in 42 Eredivisie appearances for Twente, not only is Corona a flying winger but he also has an eye for goal - and could add much-needed pace to the Newcastle side.
