2. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been in prolific form for French outfit Saint-tienne this season and his 18 strikes in 33 appearances this term have put him on the summer shopping list of numerous leading clubs,
such as Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Fiorentina and free-spending PSG The Gabonese marksman has scored 37 goals in 85 appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit since joining from AC Milan and Alan Pardew is understood to be a keen admirer. Aubameyang is valued at £10 million by his club and while Saint-tienne aren't actively looking to sell the player, a summer move could be on the cards, if Pardew can come up with the right offer. The Magpies have looked flimsy up front in the second half of the season and the arrival of Aubemeyang would certainly go some way to lightening the burden of Papiss Cisse and Gouffran.
