This summer could be a very busy one on Tyneside with huge numbers of players in and out expected.
The Saudi-led takeover of the club means that Newcastle now have great resources to use in the transfer market - but spending big money on one player doesn’t necessarily guarantee success.
Newcastle may break their transfer record this window, but fans will want to see money spent wisely and not just thrown at a big name player because of ‘name value’.
So what can Newcastle learn from other Premier League sides if they are to spend big on players this summer?
Here, using data provided by Transfermarkt, we take a look at each Premier League club/s record transfer and assess how their time at the club has panned out.
