Yoann Gourcuff

Would Newcastle United risk bringing in another flair French player for a third season in a row? After having their fingers burned by Florian Thauvin and Remy Cabella, its unlikely.

That said, Yoan Gourcuff could be the type of player to unlock Premier League defences – and as a free agent, might be worth a shot.

Gourcuff fell off the radar a little bit in recent years, and has something to prove to the world. A move to the English top flight could unlock that.

357 career appearances, with 54 goals and 66 assists signal a player who can cause havoc when the time is right.
