Newcastle are planning for life in the Premier League after wrapping up promotion to the top flight last month.

Manager Rafa Benitez wants reinforcements to ensure they do not drop back down to the Championship in a one years time.

And The Sun claim the Toon boss is ready to go head-to-head with Crystal Palace for Heaton's signature.

Benitez has supposedly demanded a £100million war chest in order to ensure Newcastle beat the drop.

Among his other targets are Arsenal's Calum Chambers and Everton's James McCarthy.
