Newcastle told the ideal three transfer targets who would turn Magpies into 'top four staple'

Newcastle United would become a 'top four staple' if they signed Moises Caicedo, James Maddison and Kieran Tierney this summer. That is the view of Stan Collymore, and the former Liverpool striker has hailed the Magpies' transfer strategy so far in avoiding 'galactico' recruits.

Newcastle's owners have already invested in the region of £250 million into the playing squad, with further 'elite' additions said to be on the radar in the upcoming window. Eddie Howe has overseen a rapid transformation at St James' Park, with United eyeing up an unexpected top-four finish this term.

Collymore believes Newcastle's owners have so far been smart with their money when it comes to prioritising Premier League experience, as well as looking for value on the continent. The pundit feels the addition of a left-back, a central midfielder and a playmaker would help the team continue to compete for Champions League football, rather than allowing this season to be a one-off.
