Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez has said that the club might not look to pursue attackers in January as they already have good numbers in that department. But he has hinted that the Magpies could look at players for other positions.

Newcastle are in the relegation zone at the moment, with zero wins and two points to their name after playing seven games this season. However, the Spaniard is hopeful things can change as he claims he is seeing improvement from his squad.

Asked if the January transfer window could go some way into defining the club's season, Benitez disagreed, pointing out that there are enough attackers in his squad but also that they have been unfortunate with injuries and haven't been helped by new players taking time to adapt to the Premier League.
