How could Newcastle line up at the start of next season?

Rafa Benitez will be keen to bolster his Newcastle United squad after securing promotion back to the Premier League at their first time of asking.

The Magpies, who won the Championship last season by a single point, are being linked with a whole array of fresh faces as they hope to establish themselves once more as a top Premier League side.

Newcastle have already confirmed the signing of Eibar defender Florian Lejuene on a five-year deal for a fee of £8.7million. Christian Atsu’s move to the North East from Chelsea has also been made permanent after a successful loan spell with the club last season.

Benitez is also said to be intensely keen on re-uniting with Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina.

With a flurry of new faces likely to be seen arriving at St James’ Park over the summer, here is what the Magpies starting XI could look like come the start of the season:
