Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez has identified three targets ahead of the January transfer window, according to reports.
According to The Chronicle, Benitez has already begun work ahead of the January transfer window – with the Spaniard keen to bring in 'another striker, a midfielder and a left-back', the report fails to name any potential players on the Magpies managers radar.
The report states that Benitez is preparing transfer targets for ‘whatever the budgetary constraints might be’, however this does raise a glimmer of hope that he may still be planning for the long-term at Newcastle, despite his current contract running out next summer.
