Newcastle Transfers: 10 Potential January Signings Benitez Must Consider
2. Ahmed Musa - Leicester City
The forward, like Islam Slimani, has failed to shine at Leicester and is looking for pastures new.
His agent confirmed there was interest in the Nigerian from clubs in Turkey, but believes England is where his future lies.
Signed from CSKA Moscow for nearly £20 million in 2016, Musa has struggled to hold down a place in the Foxes starting XI and hasn't exactly shone when he has been given a chance.
Given how Joselu hasn't set the world alight since arriving on Tyneside, it's unlikely that the Magpies would be too impressed by signing another player who can't get into his current side. However, with Rafa keen for strength in numbers, a loan deal for Musa could still be on the agenda.
