Rafael Benitez has outlined his rebuilding plan and is looking for six new signings if he stays on as Newcastle United manager this summer.
The 59-year-old is adamant that the club must move quickly in the summer window to bring in fresh talent should they wish to mount a top ten challenge next season.
Benitez has already met with managing director Lee Charnley and informed him that the current squad requires adjustments if they are to avoid yet another relegation battle.
The Spaniard wants two new full-backs on either side of his defence and is believed to have underlined the priority of signing forward Salomon Rondon on a permanent basis after the Venezualen's impressive tally of nine goals and seven assists so far this season.
