Newcastle United will be desperate to beat the drop and remain in the Premier League for next season.
After finally seeing a takeover go through last season, the Magpies, who are now technically the world’s richest club, are looking to stay in England’s top-flight as they look to become one of the country’s biggest hitters.
Following a hugely successfully January transfer window that saw the likes of Kieran Trippier, Matt Targett, Chris Wood and Bruno Guimares all join, the Toon now appear reinvigorated on the pitch.

“I think pretty much we’ve seen the B list of targets all in January,” Jones said. “Now let’s see what the A list has got, because from what I’m told, it’s going to be pretty special.
“Some of the names that we’re going to be linking Newcastle with in the summer if they stay up.”
