Malaga forward Sandro Ramirez is among the players Benitez wants to recruit for Newcastle, according to The Sunday People (print edition, page 53, May 7, 2017).

According to the report, the 21-year-old former Barcelona forward is available for £5 million.

Newcastle will play in the Premier League next season after achieving automatic promotion from the Championship this campaign.

The Magpies will be aiming to push for a top-10 finish in the league in 2017-18, although their main priority should be not to end up in the bottom three.
