5. Bafetimbi Gomis
The Lyon marksman could be available this summer after the French club made the 27-year-old available for transfer as they look to cut their wage bill, according to a report in the
Express yesterday. Gomis has been compared to former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba and last season netted 16 times in Ligue 1, and 20 in 40 overall appearances. The ongoing row with Cisse over the "Wongagate" has reportedly sparked Newcastle's interest in the France international, but according to reports in France, the Magpies are yet to follow up their interest with a concrete offer. Aston Villa, Cardiff and Swansea have reportedly shown an interest in the player in the past, and Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas wants to sell Gomis to the highest bidder. However, one obstacle that could be in the Magpie's way is the fact the player reportedly wants to join a Champions League club.
