Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce is looking to bring in a marquee signing during the summer transfer window.
According to Football Insider, Bruce could spend his entire budget on one star signing.
The Magpies will then look to take advantage of the free-agent market and pull off loan deals to strengthen their squad.
Bruce is aiming to plug the gaps in Newcastle’s squad and help them push for a top-half finish next season.
Newcastle will need to improve defensively and add more depth to the attacking areas. A quality winger and a striker are amongst their priorities.
Star players like Allan Saint-Maximin have been linked with a move away from the club, but Bruce will hope to convince the 24-year-old to stay beyond this summer.
