Newcastle United fans here in the Tavern are confident that their side will secure a future in the Premier League, as they have arguably one of the world’s best managers at the helm.
The Magpies will be looking to finish the season strongly as there’s still the possibility of relegation to the Championship, with many of our local residents still worried about their current position. Although, if they do manage to avoid the drop then they’ll have the perfect opportunity to improve in the summer, with manager Rafa Benitez possibly bringing in some world-class players.
Indeed, it’s believed that Newcastle United will have more money to spend in their second Premier League season, as they could even challenge for Europe next season. And, with plenty of departures expected in the summer transfer window, this could mean that a lot of players will be brought to St James’ Park in preparation for the next campaign.
Nevertheless, here’s a look at TWO signings that Rafa Benitez must make…
Rodrigo
Rodrigo has enjoyed an incredible season with current club Valencia in the Liga BBVA as one of Spain’s most exciting players.
Indeed, the 27-year-old has been prolific in the current campaign as he’s managed to reach double figures, with a call-up to the Spanish national side being just reward for his efforts thus far.
Therefore, the Magpies should look to use their increased transfer budget wisely by bringing Rodrigo to the club, as a proven goalscorer that can terrorize any defence.
David Luiz
David Luiz has struggled to make it into Antonio Conte’s plans in the current campaign, as he continues to stagnate on the substitutes’ bench with a summer exit looking likely.
Indeed, there’s no doubt that the Brazilian has the ability to become one of the best defenders in the Premier League, with many of our local northerners wanting to see him at the club.
Therefore, the Magpies should look to raid Chelsea for the defender in the summer months, as an experienced Premier League player that’s proved his worth at a couple of Europe’s biggest clubs.
