Newcastle must sign Bolasie to fix hole in the squad

Rafael Benitez has a problem with Newcastle’s left-wing options and should consider signing Yannick Bolasie to strengthen the squad. Newcastle were linked with a move for the £75k-per-week winger in May and could procure his signature for £7m – 28% of the fee Everton paid for Bolasie in 2016.

Last season, the Magpies used Christian Atsu, Kenedy, Miguel Almiron, Ayoze Perez and Jacob Murphy on the left, but no player set the place alight. Atsu, Kenedy, Almiron and Murphy have scored just two goals between them and made only two assists collectively.
