Things haven’t gone the way that most Newcastle fans would have wanted to at the end of this season. The Magpies were relegated from the Premier League after Sunderland’s win over Everton and it will be a tough summer next season as most of their star players would be targets for some of the biggest clubs in the world.
Newcastle might not have played all that well and under Rafa Benitez, they couldn’t survive relegation. The Spaniard might not be staying at the club at the start of next season. We provide five stars who also be leaving the club for one of the top four sides in the Premier League.
Tim Krul
The Dutch goalkeeper has not played all too many games this year, which has been disrupted by injuries amongst other problems. The 28-year-old was even the Dutch number one until injury ruled him out for most of the season.
Krul though could be a great singing for any of the top clubs. We all know that Liverpool are looking for a new goalkeeper. Krul wouldn’t just be a good reserve goalkeeper, he would actually be a number one for many of the top sides in Europe as well.
Moussa Sissoko
The French midfielder is another star who didn’t have the greatest season for Newcastle, but he was also linked with a move to Liverpool early on but he stayed at Newcastle and with the Magpies ending up in the Championship, there will be a number of clubs vying for the signature of the 26-year-old midfielder.
Sissoko is dynamic and has a great engine as well, certainly perfect for the Premier League. He might be inconsistent, but the Frenchman would be a great option to have off the bench or even as a squad rotation player in some of the bigger teams.
