20 English Players Newcastle Should Sign This Summer

19. Harry Maguire

Age: 22 Position: Centre-Back Current Club: Hull City (2014-) Previous Clubs: Sheffield United (2011-14), Wigan Athletic (loan, 2015) Estimated Market Value: £5-7 million League Appearances (Goals) 2014-15: 19 (1) England Under-21 Caps (Goals): 1 (0)
If there's one area the Magpies desperately need to strengthen this summer then it's centre-back - and Harry Maguire could fill a position at the heart of the Magpies defence for the next decade if they raid relegated Hull City for the 22-year-old. The 6ft 4in defender made more than 130 league appearances for Sheffield United before Hull paid £2.5 million to secure his services last summer and he has impressed both at the Tigers and during a loan spell at Wigan Athletic. Although he would need time to bed into the Premier League - meaning the Magpies would need to sign an experienced centre-back to play alongside him - Maguire has attracted interest from the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United, so highly is he rated.
