Following a poor summer transfer window, Rafa Benitez is keen for Newcastle to be proactive in January as he proposes a list of potential signings.
The Magpies spent the third-least amount of money in the summer, with a grand total of just £23.6m despite their heroic tenth-placed finish last campaign. This initially resulted in a poor start to this season's Premier League, but the Toons have somewhat recovered since then.
However, Benitez wants his side to kick on now and believes that the club need to dip into the January transfer market to solidify their chances of staying up again this season, according to the Chronicle.
