With promotion now sealed, Newcastle United can start thinking ahead to potential summer transfer targets.
Rafa Benitez will be very keen to add several faces to his Newcastle squad this summer to equip them for a survival bid in next season's Premier League campaign.
Newcastle United fans will be excited to see what type of players Benitez can bring to Tyneside.
One area that Newcastle will look to strengthen is the central midfield department, according to The Chronicle.
Jonjo Shelvey has proven himself to be one of the best players in the Championship this season but his midfield partners have been varied.
Isaac Hayden has shown glimpses of talent but he is still young and learning.
Jack Colback has been unspectacular and Mo Diame has been underwhelming.
With Benitez set to be scouring the leagues for central midfielders, here are three players who they could sign in that position.
James McCarthy
James McCarthy has been edged out of the Everton team by Ronald Koeman but he is a decent option to have as a defensive midfielder.
Previously linked with Newcastle, the Republic of Ireland international would provide a bit of steel in midfield and allow Shelvey to roam forward a bit more.
Everton could sell McCarthy in the summer with Newcastle possibly willing to reignite their interest.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek
Alternatively, Newcastle could look to bring in Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek on loan.
The 21-year-old is considered to be one of the country's hottest prospects but his progress is stalling with a lack of playing time at Chelsea.
A season spent on loan with Newcastle would be extremely beneficial in the England under 21 international's development.
Aaron Mooy
Undoubtedly one of the stars of the Championship this season, Aaron Mooy is likely to be available in the summer.
The Manchester City midfielder has been on loan at high flying Huddersfield Town and Man City are unlikely to keep him.
The Australian international has been integral to Huddersfield's success and would slot in nicely in Newcastle's midfield.
