Newcastle United are expected to remain busy in the final few hours of the summer transfer window, with Rafael Benitez looking to bring in new faces as well as shipping out unwanted players to free up space.

One of the players who could leave Newcastle on the deadline day is Jack Colback, who has become surplus to requirements at the club.
