Rafa Benitez Looking to Bolster Attacking Options As Newcastle Send Scouts to Watch Serie A Star

Newcastle United have stepped up their efforts in scouting Genoa's hot young prospect Krzysztof Piu0105tek with a January transfer in mind.

It's no secret Magpies' fans were left frustrated after the summer transfer window having failed to add to their squad before the new season, and the club looked to be paying the price. They failed to win any of their opening 10 games in what was a dire start to the new campaign, however their fortunes finally look to be changing.

After picking up their first win of the season with a 1-0 win over Watford, Newcastle made it back-to-back wins the following week thanks to a hard-fought 2-1 win over Bournemouth which has helped them climb up to 14th in the Premier League.
