Newcastle Transfers: 10 Players Alan Pardew Must Sign Before Man City

7. Wilfried Zaha

Current Club: Manchester United Position: Winger At this stage of his fledgling career it is worrying that Zaha finds himself at a crossroads having been frozen out at Manchester United last season by ex-Red Devils boss David Moyes. Zaha holds the distinction of being the last player signed by Sir Alex Ferguson when he agreed a £15 million move to Old Trafford in January 2013 but he struggled to make an impression under Moyes and was restricted to just four appearances before spending the second half of the season on loan at Cardiff. Despite the Bluebirds dropping back into the Championship the 21-year-old offered us only fleeting glimpses of his talent in what his first prolonged taste of Premier League football and ultimately failed to win a regular slot in Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's team. But with Pardew seeking to inject some fresh imputes into our sterile attack this summer he should look no further than Zaha, who is bound to be hungry to prove himself in the top-flight. The Magpies boss has made no secret of his appreciation for the two-times capped England international and knows he could acquire Zaha for cut-price £10 million with Louis Van Gaal unlikely to offer him regular game time when he takes control at Old Trafford in July.
