Newcastle United are said to be after five new additions, as Rafael Benitez looks to bolster his squad.

Newcastle have made three additions so far, with Kenedy, Martin Dubravka and Ki Sung-Yeung all arriving.
There has been frustrations expressed at St. James’ Park about the lack of ambition that the Magpies have shown in the transfer window, with Benitez failing to be backed with funds to date.
However, the Spanish boss is still hopeful that deals will be completed over the coming weeks.

Benitez wants Newcastle to sign a right-back and a central defender, with two strikers and a winger also thought to be on the club’s radar.
Whether Newcastle will get all their intended additions remains to be seen, as they are running out of time.
The Magpies are thought to have to sell before they buy, with Mike Ashley keen not to overcommit in the transfer window.
