Newcastle had a safe mid-table finish last season but will want to be closer to the likes of Everton and Wolves next term in possibly challenging for a top six place.

According to the report, Newcastle will make signing Salomon Rondon permanently one of their priorities, and target a further five new faces.

Among those would be two new full-backs, two new midfielders and another forward to go alongside Rondon and Miguel Almiron.

After years of under-achievement, it seems like NUFC might finally be going somewhere as they show real ambition this summer.
