Newcastle United have struggled this season but have recently entered into a strong run of form.
The Magpies clinched their first win of the season at the start of the month as they defeated Watford at St James’ Park. Last weekend, Rafa Benitez’s side secured their second consecutive victory when Bournemouth came to town.
This pair of wins has lifted Newcastle out of the relegation zone and into 14th place, with the club beginning to kickstart their season.
However, as the January transfer window begins to roll around, it is clear to see that improvements to Benitez’s current options are a necessity.
It’s likely to be another frustrating window for the Spaniard and his recruitment team, with Mike Ashley unlikely to loosen the purse strings to help the team stay afloat in the Premier League.
However, one arguably weak spot in the Newcastle squad that must be strengthened is at left-back.
So, take a look at a selection of players in this position who the Magpies could target ahead of the January transfer window!
