Newcastle United are working on deals, but for players from abroad.

Newcastle United fans may have reason to be concerned, as Rafael Benitez’s transfer plans became clearer last night.

The Chronicle suggested that Newcastle are now working on two signings, with Benitez looking to the continent for additions.

The Magpies are said to be looking to take two players from Ligue 1 and another from La Liga, and those reports could prove frustrating for Newcastle fans.

There was genuine hope that Newcastle’s survival in the Premier League would spark a change of policy from Mike Ashley this summer.

It seemed that Rafael Benitez was set to be given money to spend, and Newcastle could finally bring in some proven Premier League players.

But it seems that Benitez has been sent bargain hunting around Europe again, as he looks for talent from foreign leagues.

Of course, Newcastle may have identified some top talent from France and Spain, but they come with no guarantees of being a success.

And it seems that nothing has changed at Newcastle, despite their survival last season.
