Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has been handed a limited summer transfer budget.
The Daily Mail says Newcastle's recruitment team have been told they have a budget of £10million this summer.
And the cash available is likely to be spent on one player plus at least two loan deals.
It is said they want a left-sided centre-back and two midfielders, and there is talk of Bruce starting the season with a three-man defence as his preferred formation.
A deal to bring former loanee Joe Willock back to St James' Park from Arsenal remains the priority.
