Newcastle Transfers: 10 Potential January Signings Benitez Must Consider
1. Sandro Ramirez - Everton
The ex-Barcelona and Malaga striker was linked with the Toon in the summer following an impressive season in La Liga, but Rafa's men were pipped to the signing by big-spending Everton.
The 22-year-old hasn't hit the ground running at Goodison Park and is already being touted as a man Sam Allardyce wants off his books.
With Newcastle desperate for a striker who can score regularly as they bid to stay in the top flight, it might be a risk to bring in a player who has failed to score since moving to England.
However, with Rafa Benitez and his staff keen on the player in the past, they might stick to their judgement and offer the Spaniard a lifeline and an opportunity to rebuild his reputation in England.
