If Coloccini does leave, boss Rafa Benitez will need to bolster his squad with some defensive signings, and one player mentioned as a potential recruit is QPR centre-half Steven Caulker.

However, the player appears to be in demand from a number of Premier League clubs, with West Bromwich Albion the latest side to be linked with a move for him.

Caulker has also been linked with Sunderland and Crystal Palace, whose manager Alan Pardew could return to St James’s Park for a transfer raid.

The Croydon Advertiser today claimed Pardew will look to sign Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul this summer.
