Pardew confident of attracting players to Newcastle

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is supremely confident the club can attract some quality players this summer.

The Magpies have re-established themselves in the Premier League this season after winning promotion last term, performing at a reasonable standard to sit 11th on the table.

Pardew feels that the club is currently in a strong position and believes that new players to help strengthen his squad will not be hard to find.

"Getting players over the line, whether they are players you have at the club already or new players, is one of the most difficult parts of the game, convincing players that the future here is bright, which I think it is," he said.

"We have got a good foundation to go forward now, so attracting players shouldn't be a problem and hopefully the financial side of it, we can find.

"We are competing against Champions League teams and foreign teams - it's always difficult.

"They are not going to be done quickly, but hopefully they will be done."
