As reported by talkSPORT, Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez believes that it will be another tough transfer window for the club in January.
Many of the club’s fans were left frustrated when the summer window slammed shut, as they believed there was a severe lack of investment into the squad ahead of the current campaign.
The Magpies currently sit in 14th place in the Premier League, after going unbeaten in their last three games, winning two and drawing one.
However, the two wins were their only victories this season and Newcastle have done little to convince despite their recent resurgence.
Benitez’s side will be hoping to continue their good form in the Premier League at Turf Moor against Burnley on Monday night.
The Spaniard will be keen to add to his squad when the upcoming transfer window does roll around but with significant investment unlikely, the former Liverpool boss called for realism over his side’s chances of recruitment.
Benitez said:
It’s January so it’s quite difficult – it’s not a question of much (money), it’s a question of how to find the right player.
It’s quite a difficult window because the top-class players normally are playing in the Champions League and with top teams, so it’s very difficult for them to change.
