10 Players Ian Cathro Could Bring With Him To Newcastle

7. Luís Gustavo Ledes

A graduate from Barcelona's Masia academy, no less... Luis Gustavo was signed by Cathro's old boss Nuno while the pair were at Rio Ave, and taking a punt on the talented 22-year-old could prove to be an inspired decision by Newcastle Untied. He is your typical Barcelona player. Quite small, two footed, good on the ball and with an eye for a pass. He would need plentiful time to adapt to the English game, but just look at the likes of Luka Modric and Santi Cazorla, there is hope for smaller midfielders at the top level of the Premier League. He managed to play for Barcelona's famed B team 32 times, scoring once, before he was snapped up by Ave on a four-year deal. Steve McClaren was hired by The Magpies as his reputation as a coach who could get the best out of the more technical players in the Newcastle squad stood out. And if Cathro pulled his weight and helped to get the Portuguese man in, Mike Ashley could have one hell of a profit to enjoy down the line...
