Newcastle Transfers: 10 Big Deals Linked For January Already

2. Giannelli Imbula

Linked By: The Sun (Via) Having been linked with a move to Tyneside back in March 2013, before he started attracting quite as much attention, Guingamp defensive midfielder Imbula is apparently back on the club's radar, though with some impressive fellow suitors. Along with Sylvain Marveaux, Imbula has been a rare shining light in the struggling French side this season thanks to a passing success rate of almost 90%, from 501 completed passes. He has drawn the attention of some big fish for good reason. Chances? There's more chance of seeing the Pope's underpants unfortunately, Back in 2013, it might not have been such a silly suggestion, but now that Chelsea and Arsenal are supposedly in for the player it would take something serious to get him to Tyneside.
