Newcastle Transfers: 10 Potential January Signings Benitez Must Consider

3. Morgan Schneiderlin - Everton

The former Southampton and Manchester United player found himself out of favour with both his manager and the Everton fans this season after he was sent home from training by David Unsworth during his short stint in the Goodison Park hot seat, but has being a big part of Sam Allardyce's plans.

However, with Jonjo Shelvey's future on Tyneside up in the air amidst rumours of a £12 million move to West Ham, Rafa Benitez might look to the 28-year-old Frenchman to fill any potential void.

The move may not be the flair/forward-thinking player the Toon Army may be hoping for in this window, but he is a solid midfielder who certainly has a lot to offer.
