Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez wants the club to invest this January.
Newcastle United’s poor run of form has left the club’s manager Rafa Benitez feeling he needs to sign players in January in order to guarantee survival.
Newcastle have slumped to 15th place, recording only four Premier League wins all season.
A potential takeover has dominated headlines in recent weeks, and regardless of whether this is successful or not, Benitez wants funds.
The Mirror has named four positions in which Benitez wants to strengthen in January.
The report states Newcastle are looking for a striker, a number 10, a left-back, and a goalkeeper.
The Newcastle boss is seeking a minimum of £20 million to be made available, although to realistically sign quality at all four positions, more money will be required.
Despite Dwight Gayle rediscovering his scoring touch in recent weeks, Newcastle have netted only 14 goals in 15 league games this season, and new options in attack are required.
In goal Newcastle have flitted between Rob Elliott and Karl Darlow, having failed to bring in a goalkeeper in the summer.
