Aleksandar Mitrovic says he will assess offers to leave Newcastle this summer

After a very poor performance in the 2015-16 Premier League campaign, Newcastle United were relegated to the Championship.

Newcastle finished the season as Championship winners to secure an immediate return to the Premier League after their relegation in the 2015/16 season.

According to a recent report from the Chronicle, Stoke City are considering a summer swoop for Newcastle United left-back Paul Dummett, but Magpies manager Rafa Benitez would be insane to sanction a move for the 25-year-old.

Manager Rafa Benitez, meanwhile, is pressing ahead with his summer recruitment.

He said: "I heard something about other clubs". "We are going to listen to a few offers", Murphy said, as quoted by the Sun.

The 34-year-old has spent the majority of his career in the Championship and is likely to remain in the second tier of English football, as several clubs in the division would certainly benefit from having a player of his experience at their disposal.

"Last season was good, though".

Mitrovic embraces Rafa Benitez- he was used sparingly by the Newcastle manager this season

"We had a lot of big name players and maybe if it had been another manager he wouldn't have got the best out of them as there would have been players sulking".

He told Sky Sports: "We are now definitely going to win something and, by the way, I shan't be selling until we do".

"And I have Rafa to thank for that".

"His attention to detail, everything is spot-on".

And fans will want to know whether the ongoing discussions will have any impact on Newcastle's transfer plans.

"I have got another year left on my contract and I will go back there for pre-season and just look at my options". "He makes time for everyone".
