Here's a look at nine quality players from the Championship that the Magpies could sign this summer, who could prove to be bargain transfers, and have shown the potential to thrive in the Premier League.
5. Oli Watkins - Brentford
If Brentford don't make it into the Premier League, there's likely to be a transfer scramble for the prodigious forward. He was converted from a winger to striker last summer, which has seen him score 25 league goals. Photo: Ashley Allen
6. Shaun Hutchinson - Millwall
While not the most glamorous of options, the ex-Fulham defender is a force to be reckoned with in the air, and has arguably been the Lions' best player this season. He'd be a decent rotation option for a top tier side. Photo: Lewis Storey
7. Said Benrahma - Brentford
He's likely to cost a fortune, and he's certainly not short of admirers, but what an investment he'd be. Brentford are, by their own admission, a selling club, and he's likely to go this summer. Photo: Alex Burstow
8. Bradley Dack - Blackburn Rovers
Dack has used the coronavirus lockdown to recover from a serious injury, and is now in the athletic shape of his life. The technically gifted midfielder has bags of flair, and is a proven goalscorer. Photo: Lewis Storey
