Newcastle Transfers: 10 Players Magpies Could Sign In January
3. Saido Berahino
Current Club: West Bromwich Albion Estimated Cost In January: £25 Million Age: 22 Position: Striker Saido Berahino was reportedly Newcastle United's number one target this summer with the club coming close to an agreement with the striker before he swapped agents, causing the deal to fall through. The chances of the Magpies paying around £25 million for the striker - who tweeted that he would never play for West Brom again after they rejected four bids from Tottenham on transfer deadline day - are very slim but the purchase of the 22-year-old would show fantastic ambition from the club. Berahino scored 20 goals in 45 games for the Baggies last season and is one of the hottest English talents currently playing in the Premier League.
