Jannik Vestergaard

Jannik Vestergaard is another defender who currently plies his trade in the Bundesliga.

The Danish stopper is with Werder Bremen, and had enjoyed a breakout season. Earlier media reports put his asking price as around £15m, but it is unlikely if Newcastle United would cough up that much.

Vestergaard’s played 15 times for Werder this season, earning a WhoScored.com rating of 7.44 in the process.
