Age: 22 Position: Centre-Back Club: Aston Villa Nationality: Denmark Estimated market value: £4-8 million League Appearances (Goals) 2014-15: 23 (1) International Under-21 Caps (Goals): 7 (0) Last summer Newcastle were heavily linked with Aston Villa centre-back Jores Okore - and, if the Danish defender impresses in the Czech Republic, they could reignite that interest. The six-foot tall defender made 23 appearances for the Villans last season and was one of their best performers at the back during a dreadful Premier League campaign. Still raw, Okore does not shirk a physical challenge and he loves to put himself about and make forwards' lives a living nightmare. A modest fee of between £4 million and £8 million should be enough to secure Okore's signature - but will the Magpies make it happen?
