Newcastle are looking to change the Premier League order this summer with another big madness.
Kieran Tierney is a target for Newcastle
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe will be rewarded for his efforts this season by receiving a £150m summer transfer window, according to reports. The Magpies are third in the table after thrashing Tottenham 6-1 at the weekend, bringing them one step closer to Champions League qualification.
This will be the first time since 2002, Newcastle have qualified for Europe's elite tournament, which can be considered a huge feat for Howe. Newcastle's new owners have made it clear in their takeover that they are looking to rise to the top of the table within five years and their performances this year show they are on the right track. More investment is needed for Howe's side to take the next step in their development and The Sun claim the Newcastle boss will be given £150m to spend on new signings. Express Sport looks at four players Newcastle could consider signing with this extra budget.
Kieran Tierney
Dan Burn has played admirably at left-back this season, but Newcastle want to change things on that side. Kieran Tierney is said to be their main target, with Arsenal reportedly weighing their options for the Scotland international.
He has struggled to make regular appearances at Arsenal this season following the arrival of Oleksandr Zinchenko. It has been suggested that Arsenal are hoping to receive an offer of around £40m to let Tierney go.

Scott McTominay
Midfield is the main area Newcastle need to strengthen this summer with Howe's options limited at the moment. Bruno Guimaraes, Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff and Joelinton have been the top picks in midfield this season but they will need more options going forward.
Scott McTominay is seen as a potential option as the Manchester United star faces a decision over his future at Old Trafford this summer. It is claimed that United will be looking for an offer worth around £30m for McTominay. Your Tielemans
Taking advantage of the special free agent market this summer could be key for Newcastle and there are few better than Leicester star Youri Tielemans. A host of clubs are expected to hunt to sign the Tielemans, but Newcastle are likely to offer the Belgian more minutes than their Premier League rivals.
The Champions League football offer could also give Newcastle an edge over Liverpool and Tottenham.
Moussa Diaby
Alexander Isak was Newcastle's star signing last summer, arriving for a club record price of £63m. Moussa Diaby looks set to be the next superstar to come to St James' Park and will have to pay a hefty fee to get him out of Bayer Leverkusen. There is information that Newcastle will have to spend nearly 90 million pounds to get Diaby.
