Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce is happy with the club's market approach.

Now working alongside Steve Nickson, Newcastle's head of recruitment, Bruce believes the club's current transfer policy is the way forward.

I agree with the policy. I agree with it because it's everybody's policy. There's not many that want to spend big, big money on a 29-year-old," he told reporters ahead of Sunday's game against Leicester City.

"Tottenham is the same, Man U is the same. We're not alone in this. If you're going to spend big, big money then it makes sense to spend it on a younger one than someone who is 29 or 30.

"All the Premier League teams really are looking at that. If there is one out there who is a Bosman, an Andy Carroll, or Fede [Federico Fernandez], we've bought experienced ones, too.

"If you're going to really, really spend, big money, you're going to spend it on a young one. I agree with that."
