Newcastle United qualified for the Champions League for the first time since 2003 and are firmly in the market for marquee signings to improve the team.

Eddie Howe has done a spectacular job as Newcastle boss, taking the team from the jaws of relegation to Champions League football and what follows now could potentially be a spending spree.
