Newcastle United are interested in signing Junior Stanislas from AFC Bournemouth.
One of the areas of his squad that Rafael Benitez is looking to bolster this month is the strike department.
Summer signing Joselu has scored only four goals in the league, while Dwight Gayle has cut a disappointing figure so far. On the other hand, Aleksandar Mitrovic continues to get linked away from St James’ Park. It is clear where the priority lies in the transfer window for the Magpies.
Newcastle have been linked with a host of Premier League strikers, but with the scarcity of funds, Benitez can only bring in players on loan.
Benitez is keen on signing Kenedy from Chelsea on loan, and the Spaniard sees Stanislas as a very real alternative.
The report claims that the 28-year-old, who has played bit-part roles for Eddie Howe this season, would jump at the opportunity of joining the Tyneside club in January.
