Newcastle United should consider making a move for Valencia starlet Santi Mina.
Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez has recently voiced his frustration over lack of transfer activity at the club.
Benitez has made six signings so far, but one gets the feel that more signings are needed.
It is becoming increasingly clear that Newcastle certainly do not have the funds to go out in the market and dish out £20-30 millions on a single player.
They have been smart in their transfer dealings so far. With that in mind, Benitez should return to his former club, Valencia, and sign Los Che’s promising youngster Santi Mina.
The Spain U-21 international joined Valencia from Celta in 2015, and has already made 55 appearances for the club.
Last season, he scored six goals in 29 La Liga games for Los Che. While that tally is not the most impressive on paper, one has to consider that most of his appearances have come from the bench.
The 21-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance from time to time, and one gets the feel that he could become a very special player in the future.
Newcastle would be an ideal place for his development. He could be tempted by the prospect of playing under a top-class manager in Benitez.
Most importantly, he would come at a decent price. Given his age, talent, and quality, he could be a cracking signing for the Magpies.
