Newcastle Transfer News Round-Up: Every Player The Magpies Have Been Linked With From June 1st-7th

3. Carlos Bacca (Sevilla)

Carlos Bacca could be on his way to Newcastle United after the Europa League winner is reportedly open to a move away from Sevilla. The striker, who scored two goals to lead Los Rojiblancos to a 3-2 win over Dnipro last month, has also been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur after becoming one of the leading lights in Spain. His performance in the Europa League final capped off a wonderful season for the Columbian where he scored 20 goals and created 28 chances in 37 La Liga appearances, firing Sevilla to a fifth-placed finish. However, Magpies fans shouldn€™t be getting their hopes up about this one as the forward is 28-years-old and has a reported £14 million price tag slapped on his head. He isn€™t the type of signing Mike Ashley would allow. Saying that, a signing like this would add a tonne of credibility to that interview the owner did before the West Ham game on the final day of the Premier League season.
