Newcastle United boss Chris Hughton has declared he has money to spend this summer.
There were suggestions Hughton would not have any cash to prepare his squad for their Premiership return.
But Hughton told the Daily Mirror: "We have players from the last time we were in the Premier League who have improved and will be better players. We have to get the right tactics and continue some of the feel we had last season.
"Birmingham and Wolves did well with the squads largely that got them promoted.
"Having said that, yes, there is money to spend.
"Newcastle is in a different place to where we were a few years ago. The sums we had to spend then are not there any more.
"We have to be careful and get value for money. I expect players to come in before the end of the summer."
