Newcastle United boss Chris Highton is confident he will have enough funds to strengthen his squad where needed for next season's Premiership return.

Hughton is confident that if Mike Ashley continues his financial backing, Newcastle can follow the example of other recently promoted clubs and survive in the top flight.

He said: “The squad will be better in the Premier League for what they have been through this season. We’ve earned the right to be there, but we know there are areas that must be improved.

“Our aim must be to survive and consolidate in the way Birmingham, Wigan and Stoke have done. We must also be mindful more than ever that clubs must live within their means.

“But as we look forward to our Premier League return I am confident that we are in good shape.”
