Rafael Benitez vows to battle through transfer window frustration with Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez has vowed to battle through his transfer window frustration to tackle life in the Premier League head-on.

The Spaniard, who guided the Magpies back into the top flight by winning the Sky Bet Championship at the first attempt last season, has endured a difficult summer which has seen the club miss out on several of his main transfer targets amid sky-high fees and spiralling wages.

He has made no secret of his displeasure, admitting in a television interview earlier this week that he is unhappy with how things have gone so far.
