Age: 21 Club: Palermo Nationality: Argentine Estimated market value: £15million-£18million League apps (2014-15): 24 League goals (2014-15): 12 The likelihood of the Magpies beating Manchester United and Arsenal to the signature of Palermo's star striker is very slim - especially seeing as he would cost at least £15million-£18million - but such is Newcastle's need for goals, sometimes you have to splash the cash. Every year a place in the Premier League is worth more and more - and Dybala's impressive record of 12 goals from 24 appearances this season would help to secure top-flight status, and possibly push Newcastle up the table. Dubbed by some as the "new Sergio Aguero", the Argentine is quick, nimble and can score any type of goal. He loves nothing better than to beat three defenders before curling the ball past an on-rushing goalkeeper. Highly unlikely to head to St James' Park, but he would represent a major coup if he did.
