Andros Townsend (Tottenham Hotspur) A player who always seems to perform better for England than his club side Tottenham Hotspur - yet Newcastle, Sunderland and Aston Villa were credited with an interest in the right-winger, who could cost £12 million, by The Sun. Quincy Promes (Spartak Moscow) Managed by Steve McClaren at FC Twente, 23-year-old Dutch winger Quincy Promes was linked to Newcastle by clubcall.com. It is believed that the Magpies would have to pay £12 million for the now-Spartak Moscow winger this summer. Tom Ince (Hull City) The Hull City winger has been linked with just about every single club in England in the past three seasons - including Newcastle United. Due to the fact Derby County took Ince on loan while McClaren was in charge last season, the England Under-21 international was one again linked with the Magpies. Yevhen Konoplyanka (Free Agent, Formerly Of Dnipro Dnipropetovsk) Available on a free transfer this summer, 25-year-old Ukrainian international winger Yevhen Konoplyanka is wanted by many a European club. His £100,000-a-week wages could put the Magpies off, yet the Daily Mirror claim Newcastle are looking to rival Stoke City and Tottenham Hotspur for Konoplyanka's signature. Lucas Ocampos (Signed For Marseille From Monaco) Linked with the Magpies in June, Monaco winger Lucas Ocampos could have arrived at St James' Park this summer - but Marseille won the race for his £5 million signature. The French club were looking to sell players in order to comply with UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations, and TMW claimed that Newcastle, Roma and Fiorentina were all interested.
