The staggering £315m market values of Newcastle United’s January transfer targets - including Manchester United, Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur stars

It is expected to be a busy window on Tyneside and business is reportedly starting early with the signing of Kieran Trippier reportedly ‘close’.

Diego Simeone admitted yesterday that he was almost powerless to stop the full-back leaving Atletico Madrid, saying:

“There is not too much we can do as coaches apart from telling Trippier how important he is for our team.”

A deal for Trippier is likely to cost upwards of £20m - but how does that compare with his market value?

Well, using data provided by Transfermarkt, we take a look at the ‘Market Values’ of the players that have been linked with a move to St James’s Park this window to see what type of fee the club could be expected to fork out for each player.
