10 Copa America Players Newcastle Could Realistically Target

4. Juan Carlos Paredes (Ecuador)

Age: 27 Position: Full-Back/Winger Club: Watford International Caps (Goals): 47 (0) Estimated Market Value: £3-5 million Newly-promoted Watford are unlikely to be willing to let any players leave Vicarage Road this summer but a bid of £3-5 million could prise Juan Carlos Paredes from the Hornet's ranks. The full-back who can also operate on the wing played for Ecuador during the 2014 World Cup and has amassed 47 caps to date for his country. At 27 he is experienced, despite having never played in the Premier League, and should Daryl Janmaat depart the North East this summer then Paredes could prove to be a shrewd acquisition given that he performed so well for Watford during their promotion from the Championship last season.
