10 Players Newcastle Should Break Their Transfer Record For
6. Juan Cuadrado
Age: 27 Club: Chelsea Nationality: Columbian Estimated Market Value: £20 million League Apps (2014-15): 12 Signed by Chelsea for £27 million at the beginning of the year, Juan Cuadrado only made 12 league appearances for Jose Mourinho and has found himself on the outer fringes of the first team. The 27-year-old demonstrated immense ability at the 2014 World Cup and was rated extremely highly during his time at Fiorentina. The midfielder would once more give Newcastle United a world-class winger who has natural dribbling skills and the ability to take on defenders with ease. Chelsea have said that they would sell Cuadrado if the price was right and a bid of around £20 million would surely be looked at by the London-based club. Victor Moses has even been granted more playing time than the winger during pre-season and has clearly not settled at the Bridge.
