Newcastle's prospective new owners will go after a big-name manager with Massimiliano Allegri and Mauricio Pochettino among their preferred candidates and Edinson Cavani a transfer target, sources have told ESPN. [ @LaurensJulien] #nufc

They are working with top agents in Europe and are interested in big-name players out of contract this summer, with a striker their main target. Dries Mertens and Willian are also other targets. #nufc

Pochettino is the number one target for the consortium and they feel confident their project could entice him to the club. #nufc
