4. Cheik Tioté

Chelsea may be hoping to raid Newcastle for another of their players, Cheik Tioté. He joined the magpies on 26 August 2010 for a fee of £3.5 million and quickly made a reputation for himself as a tough tackling defensive midfielder. He has been known to score the odd goal though. Remember that Newcastle Vs Arsenal fixture in 2011? Arsenal were 4-0 up at half time, only for Newcastle to sensationally peg them back to 4-4 - Tioté scored the 25 yard volley for the equalizer that day. He could be seen as the next Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge, and would provide Chelsea with extra steel at the back.
