Newcastle United boss Chris Hughton says he's happy to utilise the loan market for their Premiership return.

Hughton insists the loan market can still be profitable if the targets are the right ones.

"With the World Cup this summer I really can't see any significant movements until quite late (in the transfer window period) and of course there isn't a lot of money out there in the market," Hughton told The Journal.

"We're no different from a lot of clubs. It could be June or even later in July after the players have come back from pre-season before we see anything happening in the market. We will be aware of what is going on, but what usually happens is that one player signs for a club and that may mean another player becomes available.

"The loan market is open to us and if it is the right player then it is something that we will do. However, managers will want to assess things when they get back after the summer.

"We're busy working on things - but I don't see anything happening imminently."
