10 Copa America Players Newcastle Could Realistically Target

3. Derlis Gonzalez (Paraguay)

Age: 21 Position: Winger/Forward Club: FC Basel International Caps (Goals): 10 (1) Estimated Market Value: £4-6 million Youngsters with sell-on value interest Newcastle greatly, and that's exactly what 10-cap Paraguay forward Derlis Gonzalez would bring to the Magpies. Signed by FC Basel for £2.5 million in 2014 from Benfica, the "next Angel di Maria" played 24 league games for the Swiss outfit last season, netting three times. The pacey winger or forward made his Rubio Nu debut aged just 15 and he has since built up six years of experience, adding a final product to his exciting and mazy runs. A bid in the region of £5 million should be enough to secure a player who could operate out wide in a front three for Newcastle, giving them added pace and versatility in attack.
