Alan Shearer: 'Newcastle United can be a top club again'

By , Reporter
Newcastle United can become a top team again if they buy several new players this summer, says Alan Shearer.

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has urged the club to sign new players this summer, after they narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League.

The Magpies beat West Ham United 2-0 to confirm their top-flight status, and Shearer praised the players for their performance.

He told BBC Sport: "I don't think anyone could say Newcastle didn't deserve the result today. There was a great atmosphere, the players showed they wanted to stay in the Premier League and the fans backed them. I'm delighted they will be playing top-flight football next season.

"Now if they stop selling their best players, bring in a few new faces and play the best team in cup competitions, you never know, we might just have a very good club on our hands."

Newcastle finished 15th in the table.
