2. Jason Puncheon
Source: Southern Daily Echo One of very few English players linked with Newcastle is Southamptons winger Jason Puncheon, who Alan Pardew signed when he was Southampton manager and has been a long time admirer of his. His contract expires in the summer and the potential of a free transfer could again attract Newcastles interest. Puncheon has impressed for Southampton this season and is a regular starter in the Premier League. He is also Saints second highest scorer behind Ricky Lambert and Newcastles desire to add more goals after the departure of Demba Ba could see them make a move for a player they've been linked with before. At just 26, he isnt necessarily too old and his pace and trickery make him a dangerous player to have. With Pardew a long term admirer, a deal could certainly be in the offing. http://youtu.be/U1nk5rzgcvQ
