Newcastle United's quest for football dominance took the next step in its development after securing Champions League football next season after a two decade wait. The Toon will welcome back Europe's elite clubs to St. James' Park, a taste of what they hope will be a regular occurrence in the years to come.
Eddie Howe and his side have already been linked with a whole host of European talent as they look to take the next step in their evolution, with James Maddison and Kieran Tierney among just a few big names touted for a move to St. James' Park this summer. While there's the obvious need for signings to improve the squad in the here and now, there's also hope they'll unearth a few gems with long-term success on the agenda.
Manchester City finally ended their wait for a Champions League trophy after years of waiting and a turnover of stars. One name linked with a move to St. James' Park is Celta Vigo midfielder Gabri Veiga.
