Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez badly needs to bolster the squad in the January transfer window, but with budget not available in plenty, the Magpies boss will have to look for bargain deals.
It seems like they have found one. According to reports from Calciomercato, Newcastle are interested in signing Empoli midfielder Miha Zajc but they face competition from fellow Premier League rivals Huddersfield Town.
Benitez would love to add a playmaker to his rank in a bid to spark the attacking flair that Newcastle badly lack at the moment. While Miguel Almiron links are still doing the rounds, Empoli’s Zajc would be a bargain signing for the Magpies.
