### READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT

Benrahma would be a sensational signing for Newcastle if they could get a deal done in January.

The Algerian international is superb at creating space in midfield and threading balls through for wingers and strikers to latch onto, whilst also popping up in dangerous positions to score himself.

He is also good from set-pieces, being able to create and score from a dead ball – which could be a valuable asset to Newcastle’s attacking play with the height of Jamaal Lascelles, Joelinton, Fabian Schar etc.
