Eddie Howe wants 'elite' and 'marquee' signings at Newcastle United - and the Magpies may just get them this summer after securing a top-four finish.
One name that has refused to go away in recent months is Moussa Diaby. The Bayer Leverkusen flyer, who has attracted major interest from Europe's top teams after some stellar performances in the Bundesliga, piqued the interest of Newcastle last summer.
Should Howe be in the market for a right-midfielder this summer, Newcastle could do a lot worse than pushing the boat out to bring the French international to Tyneside. After all, the 23-year-old has previously spoken out about wanting Champions League football on a regular basis.
