West Ham United are reportedly considering appointing Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez.
According to the Daily Mirror, West Ham United are looking at appointing Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez.
In this article, we take a look at three players he could take from Newcastle to the London Stadium – if he does take the job.
Dwight Gayle
Gayle has been Newcastle’s main man up-front this season when he has been fit, and he looks capable of making the step up to the Premier League.
Gayle has netted 21 Championship goals this season, despite missing large chunks of it through injury.
West Ham are known to be looking for a forward, and Gayle could be the perfect option for them this summer.
Jonjo Shelvey
West Ham could do with adding another central midfielder to their ranks, and Shelvey’s performances at Newcastle have stood out this season.
The former Swansea man has looked a class above many of Newcastle’s opponents in matches, and he has been given great responsibility at St. James’ Park.
It would not be a surprise if Benitez wanted a reunion with Shelvey, if he was to move to West Ham.
DeAndre Yedlin
Yedlin was only brought to Newcastle last summer, but he has caught the eye with his performances.
The American looks to be one of the most talented defenders currently in the Magpies’ squad, and he could have a very bright future.
