Former Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna has warned Newcastle United they must recruit right this summer to avoid undoing the hard work of Champions League qualification. Eddie Howe and his side surpassed any pre-season expectations to finish in the top-four last season and bring European football back to St. James' Park.
And Sagna, who won the Premier League with Man City, believes moves for Leicester City playmaker James Maddison and Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse would be ideal to help the Magpies make the transition to playing Champions League football next term.
Sagna told Lord Ping: "Newcastle is a mythical English club, the city lives for football. Newcastle will be able to attract top players. Now they have the financial power to buy the best.
