Every Player Newcastle Were Linked With In June

6. Left-Wingers

Bakary Sako (Free Agent, Formerly Of Wolverhampton Wanderers) A free agent after leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bakary Sako is wanted by Newcastle and Aston Villa, according to Goal.com. The 27-year-old Mali international would be available on a free transfer and would give the Magpies options on the wing. Alfonso Pedraza (Villarreal) Newcastle and West Ham United have both approached Villarreal about their teenage sensation Alfonso Pedraza, according to HITC Sport. The 19-year-old winger has mainly featured for Villarreal's "B" side to date but is expected to progress into their first team in 2015-16.

Daniel Wass (Evian) Italian newspaper Tutto Mercato claim that Inter Milan have approached Evian for their £3 million-rated winger Daniel Wass - although they also state that both Newcastle and Fiorentina maintain an interest in the 26-year-old Danish international winger. Andre Ayew (Signed For Swansea City, Was A Free Agent After Leaving Marseille) Despite a variety of publications suggesting Newcastle were looking to recruit 25-year-old Ghanaian international Andre Ayew this summer, the player's wage demands proved too excessive and he instead signed for Swansea City on a free transfer after his contract expired at Marseille.

Florian Thauvin (Marseille) One of the players the Magpies have been most-heavily linked with this summer, The Daily Star even went as far as to claim that Newcastle were close to completing the signing of Florian Thauvin in a £12 million deal. The Marseille winger has attracted interest from the Magpies for years and is certainly on their summer shopping list.
