Burnley striker Andre Gray is said to be of interest to Newcastle United, who feel he could be a bargain, but West Ham United are also keen.
Gray is expected to leave Burnley this summer, with Sean Dyche’s side looking for £10 million for the striker.
Gray is in the final year of his contract at Turf Moor, and has given no indication that he will pen a new deal.
Burnley are keen to cash in, but Benitez feels that the Clarets have undervalued their prized striker.
Newcastle believe that Gray’s price tag stands out as a bargain, and Benitez wants the Magpies to push hard to bring the 24-year-old forward to St. James’ Park.
Signing a new striker is one of Newcastle’s top priorities this summer, as Benitez wants to ensure he has enough firepower to allow his squad to compete in the Premier League.
Gray scored nine goals in the Premier League for Burnely last term, and Newcastle reportedly feel he represents great value for money.
