According to a report in the Chronicle, Newcastle United are already making transfer plans for the summer.

Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez reportedly has lined up a list of targets, should his side be promoted to the Premier League.

Benitez wants to inject quality into Newcastle’s squad if they are promoted, and has a number of ambitious signings on his wishlist.

The Spanish boss reportedly wants to make the spine of Newcastle’s squad very strong, with high profile targets on his radar.

Newcastle have already been linked with the likes of Swansea City’s Gylfi Sigurdsson and Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge.

The Magpies are also determined to keep the bulk of their current squad at St. James’ Park.

Benitez wants a large squad, to ensure that Newcastle have quality cover in every position.

As a result, Newcastle could yet keep both Vurnon Anita and Yoan Gouffran, with the pair both set to be offered new contracts.
