Valencia might pay you to take him off their hands. Niko isn't that bad to be honest, but his playing style might be more suited to the EPL more than La Liga. Will Valencia bite?

He's very well suited for the English game....he is very calm on the ball, has excellent first touch, is good in the air and surprisingly capable with his feet. Some say he's slow, but it's hard to say with a guy that tall...his long strides make him look slower than he really is. Think of a well built Peter Crouch, since this guy is definitely not skinny and won't be pushed around. Personally I think he'd be a great fit with a club like Stoke, but I didn't get much chance to see Sunderland play this year so it may be a similar style. I'm surprised no one in the EPL has snatched him up yet. He never got a real chance at Valencia because I don’t think they have anyone who knows how to cross the ball properly.
