Newcastle United's £540m squad value compared to Aston Villa, Spurs, Everton and other Premier League rivals

Newcastle United are focused on their attempts to secure a second consecutive year in European competition after sampling life in the Champions League earlier this season.

Who could forget those nights in Paris, Dortmund and Milan, or the spectacular performance that saw Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-German swept aside at St James Park? As it stands, the Magpies are on the fringes of the battle for a place in Europe next season and their hopes have been boosted by taking seven points from their last three league games.

Getting into Europe will allow the Magpies to attract more big players to St James Park and ensuring they can retain the services of current stars like Bruno Guimaraes, Alexander Isak and Sven Botman.

Planning for the summer transfer window is already well underway with a number of potential targets that could add further value to Eddie Howe's squad currently being monitored. But how does United's current squad value compare to their Premier League rivals?
