The Liverpool left-back would be an excellent addition for Newcastle United.

Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez will undoubtedly be looking to strengthen his squad at St James’ Park in January.

One particular area where the Spaniard is thought to be looking to bolster is his left-back department, according to the Chronicle.

With this in mind, the Magpies should consider a move for Liverpool star Alberto Moreno.

The 26-year-old’s contract with the Reds expires in the summer, so Newcastle might just be able to secure themselves a cut-price deal for the left-back.

Moreno is incredibly quick and offers an attacking threat as well as defensive solidarity.

The Liverpool ace has never really fulfilled his potential at Anfield, but that is not to say that he doesn’t still have a lot to offer, and a switch to Tyneside might be just what he needs to reinvigorate his career.

He is incredibly experienced, yet still at an age where he can improve further still, and he really would be a great addition to the Newcastle squad.

Moreno would form a formidable partnership down the Magpies’ left flank with Kenedy, and that potential partnership really would excite the Toon Army.

Whilst Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp might not want to sell Moreno, the prospect of losing him for nothing in the summer might just tempt him into sanctioning the Spaniard’s exit in January.

And Newcastle should not hesitate to make a move for the former Sevilla ace.

It could turn out to be a signing of real significance for the Toon.
