Newcastle United are expected to be highly active in the summer transfer window.

According to the Daily Mirror, Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez wants £100 million to spend this summer.

In this article we take a look at the seven players he should bring in, if he is granted the funds he wants.

Tom Cairney (Fulham)

Cairney has arguably been the stand out player in the Championship this season, and would add a great deal of creativity to Newcastle’s midfield ranks.

Jermain Defoe (Sunderland)

Sunderland's Jermain Defoe

Experienced, and available on a free transfer. Defoe would guarantee Newcastle goals, and that could be crucial in their first season back in the top flight.

Michael Carrick (Manchester United)

Another player who could be available on a cheap deal, Newcastle would be wise to make a move for Carrick.

Joshua King (Bournemouth)

Bournemouth's Joshua King in action

Newcastle were highly successful when they snapped up Matt Ritchie from Bournemouth last summer, and they should repeat the trick with King this time around.

Asmir Begovic (Chelsea)

Chelsea's Asmir Begovic

Signing a new number one goalkeeper should be a priority for Newcastle, and Begovic would make a great addition.

Nathan Ake (Chelsea)

Ake is another player who has struggled for game time at Chelsea, but has already proven he is capable of playing at Premier League level during his time on loan at Bournemouth this season.

Ake would add pace and composure to Newcastle’s defence, and would be a highly exciting addition.

Youri Tielemans (Anderlecht)

Tielemans looks to be one of the most exciting talents in European football, and Newcastle would be making a statement if they were able to sign the 19-year-old.
