3. Cheick Tiote
Cheick Tiote rose to prominance with Newcastle United during their impressive season in the Premier League last season, in which they finished in the dizzying realms of 5th despite relegation not too long ago. This led to suitors far and wide inquiring about the Ivorian's services and Chelsea were said to be leading the way for his signature during last summers transfer window. That window slammed shut in the Blues face and Tiote remained on Tyneside, for now. Newcastle's fortunes haven't been quite so rosey this time round - they're currently 15th in the league standings, hovering precariously over the drop zone yet again, and Tiote might fancy a way out, should an offer come in for him.
