Some transfer targets have already fallen by the wayside, but new ones have now been linked...

Newcastle United have a massive summer ahead of them. Having only just confirmed their Premier League status on the final day of last season, they want to avoid a repeat of such a scenario during the 2015-16 campaign. Now that Steve McClaren has been confirmed as the new head coach on a deal that could rise to as many as eight years, the former England manager will be keen to get his hands on Mike Ashley€™s chequebook so his reign gets off to a flying start. Players will depart St James€™ Park in the coming weeks, but equally, at least seven are believed to be likely to arrive on Tyneside. Centre-backs, wingers and strikers are of the utmost priority, with at least two proven forwards wanted by the Magpies. As ever, plenty of players have been linked with a move to St James€™ Park with no action coming out of St James€™ Park at the time of writing this article. If United could get half of the players they have been linked with over that proverbial line, then next season could be a lot brighter than many could have ever expected.
