Newcastle Transfers: 10 Big Deals Linked For January Already

9. Andre Ayew

Linked By: Daily Star Another whose contract is set to run out in the summer, Ayew will apparently be let go this winter to stop him leaving Marseille for nothing. Quick, direct and skilful - as he proved this summer in the World Cup - he will inevitably have a queue of suitors, including Hull who tried to buy him on transfer deadline day. Chances? Apparently, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham have all been linked along with Hull, but it's apparently Napoli who are closest to signing him. He's also said he'd like to move to Liverpool, and considering the quality of those competitors for his signature, it's hardly likely he'd choose struggling Newcastle.Stranger things have happened though, and Newcastle do have a track record of pulling off surprising deals out of the blue.
