Earlier in the season, it looked like Newcastle would run away with not only promotion but the English Championship trophy as well. Since then, though, they’ve been pegged back by a pesky Brighton side that are getting very tired of coming very close to promotion. Many people will state that it simply doesn’t matter whether you win the title or not, but it will matter quite a lot to Newcastle fans and to Rafa Benitez himself, who has been ridiculed endlessly for the last few years. Here are four signings they can make to win the league and launch themselves back into England’s top flight:
1. Ryan Fraser
Newcastle have quite a great attack with Ayoze Perez and Dwight Gayle up front, but they something more in case of long injury layoffs. Fraser can provide so much, as he’s shown in short bursts so far. The young Bournemouth player, just 22, is quite small and very pacy. He could do a number alongside the other weapons that Newcastle have.
