Newcastle United confirmed the signing of Nabil Bentaleb yesterday. The Magpies have signed the 25-year-old midfielder on loan with an option to make the deal permanent from Bundesliga side Schalke.
The Magpies boss Steve Bruce is keen to bolster his midfield this month. Ki Sung-yueng is surplus to requirements and will be allowed to leave the club this month.
According to reports from The Athletic, Newcastle are looking to make at least three signings. The Magpies are in talks with Inter Milan to sign winger Valentino Lazaro this month. Newcastle are hopeful of securing a loan deal with an option to buy for the Austria international.
