The newly crowned richest soccer team in the world is already being linked with the sport's biggest names. Here's how it could realistically line up next season.

Martin Dubravka has been Newcastle's number one for a number of years now, and his absence through injury this season has been noticeable.

Without the stalwart Slovak between the stick, Steve Bruce's side have already shipped 16 goals in just seven Premier League games – the worst total in the division.

In the final seven games of last season when Dubravka was fit, Newcastle conceded just seven goals, four of which came in one match against Manchester City.

Part of a long and ever-growing list of exciting young English right backs, Norwich City's Max Aarons was linked with a shock move to FC Barcelona last year.

While that may have been a step too far for the 21-year-old, Newcastle would be a logical step up for a player who has the talent to play far above the level he is currently at with the struggling Canaries.

According to The Sunday Telegraph, James Tarkowski is likely to become one of the first signings of Newcastle's new era.

The Burnley defender has turned down multiple new deals at Turf Moor, the latest of which was in the summer.

"Burnley offered me a contract near the start of last season which, for me personally, it was nowhere near what I was going to sign and I think the club understood," he said in November.

"And they've come back again this year, and still, for me, it's just not right.

"Finances do matter but, at this particular stage, whatever path I take I will get financially rewarded so the financial side is not even in my thinking at the moment. It's more about my football."

Newcastle's club captain is, and will likely remain, an important part of the team moving forward.

A technically capable and hugely powerful defender, the Englishman has yet to be dribbled past this season in the Premier League in the four games in which he has played.

Despite being told he was no longer part of Mauricio Pochettino's plans at Paris Saint Germain, Layvin Kurzawa turned down a deadline day move to Premier League side Crystal Palace, according to L'Equipe.

The full-back was reportedly unwilling to give up on Champions League football, however, with Newcastle now set to be headed in that direction and with little or no prospect of playing in Paris, his head could be turned.

An audacious signing, but one that the former England and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand should try and make.

"I'd be looking at people like Raheem Sterling," he said on his YouTube show, Vibe with Five.

"Raheem Sterling's not playing regularly, I'd go ask him the question."

Sterling, 26, has started just two Premier League games for Manchester City this season and is out of contract at the Etihad Stadium in 2023.

Philippe Coutinho has previously spoken about his desire to one day return to the Premier League amid his struggles at Barcelona.

And according to SPORT, that dream could become a reality as soon as January with Newcastle's new owners having already made contact with the Brazilian about a move to Tyneside.

Newcastle made an attempt to sign Marseille's Boubacar Kamara on transfer deadline day this summer, but the midfielder was "not convinced" by the prospect of joining the Magpies and "preferred to stay" in France, according to Chronicle Live.

New, mega-rich owners and a bundle of quality players may just be enough to change the highly-rated 21-year-old's mind.

After moving to St. James' Park on loan in February, Joe Willock scored in seven consecutive matches at the end of the season to all but keep Steve Bruce's side in the division.

Given Newcastle paid Arsenal $36 million to make the deal permanent in the summer, he's unlikely to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Allan Saint-Maximin is one of the most talented players in the Premier League and a joy to watch.

Though he can still be a tad frustrating in the final third, his end product is also getting better. In eight matches this season, the Frenchman has scored twice and assisted three.

If Newcastle can keep him at St. James' Park amid interest from some of Europe's biggest teams, he will likely be the leading light in a new era for the club.

Despite Callum Wilson's undoubted quality, the Englishman is terribly injury prone, so bringing in a new striker is a must for Newcastle's new owners.

Anthony Martial is out-of-favor at Manchester United and, according to Eurosport, the striker's representatives have been given the green light to look for a new club for him in January.

Eurosport also reports that the Frenchman would rather stay in the Premier League, making a new-look Newcastle an ideal destination.
