Newcastle United are said to be keen to snap up Yacine Brahimi in a cheap deal.
Newcastle have been forced to find bargains in the transfer window in recent times, and Benitez has done well to add quality to his squad with such a limited budget.
Matt Ritchie and Martin Dubravka will both feel that they have claims at being Benitez’s best addition.
But Brahimi could be an even better signing than either of the aforementioned pair.
Brahimi is heading out of contract at Porto at the end of the season, which means Newcastle could land him in a cut price deal or even on a free transfer next summer.
And if Newcastle could bring in Brahimi on the cheap it would be an outstanding piece of business.
Brahimi has been one of the most dangerous wingers in Portugal over a number of seasons, and he has caught the eye in the Champions League.
The Algerian is still only 28, so still has plenty of years left at the top of his game.
And for Newcastle to bring in a player of his quality, without having to spend much money, would be an exceptional move from Benitez.
