Newcastle United will look to add TWO strikers in the summer transfer window – if they go up.

United are tracking Andre Gray of Burnley and retain an interest in Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson – both young strikers who they could develop. And there is also the intriguing possibility of Daniel Sturridge being available in the summer, with Jurgen Klopp prepared to cash in on the England striker in a bid to revamp his squad.

That would be a major move but there is an acknowledgement from all parties that investment would be required in the squad – and United will be in the market for strikers who know the Premier League.

Newcastle have held the first transfer summit ahead of the summer window and there is an agreement that United should look to focus any investment on younger players.

Fulham’s excellent midfielder Tom Cairney is one of the names mentioned while Rafa Benitez would like Andros Townsend to return – although that is now looking less likely, with Sam Allardyce having got more out of the winger since negotiations in January.

News that plans are being assembled for the summer is a positive although there remains uncertainty – not least over United’s divisional status next term. Newcastle have eight games to clinch their place in the Premier League and pave the way for what Benitez said is a “bright future”.
