Newcastle United are likely to be recruiting some new talent in the summer, as they look to improve on a fairly underwhelming second season under Steve Bruce. Here's a look at 13 Championship stars who the Magpies could target in the upcoming summer transfer window:
9. Lewis Cook - Bournemouth
Back in 2018, his fine form with the Cherries earned him a senior England cap. At the age of 24, he's still yet to reach his peak, and is a criminally underrated box-to-box midfielder. The Leeds academy graduate could do a job in Bielsa's hard-working midfield, for sure. Photo: Naomi Baker
10. David Raya - Brentford
The Bees' star stopper was heavily-linked with Arsenal in the last transfer window, but he deserves better than warming the bench at the Emirates Stadium. Photo: Michael Steele
11. Nick Powell - Stoke City
After failing to break into the Man Utd side following his move from Crewe in 2012, the versatile midfielder has reignited his career with Stoke, and has become a real goal-scoring threat this season. Photo: Nathan Stirk
12. Ben Cabango - Swansea City
The 20-year-old has all the makings of a top quality defender, and his domineering performances at the back have helped the Swans continue their charge for promotion. Photo: George Wood
