It’s proven to be a difficult month for Newcastle United so far as they continue to struggle to bring January reinforcements to aid Rafa Benitez’s title surge at St. James’ Park.
However, the Spaniard seems to remain hopeful of still adding to his squad on Tyneside with a large chunk of the window remaining and Keith Downie has shared some further insight into the Spaniard’s plans in the time left.
He’s claimed the former Liverpool and Real Madrid coach wants TWO players to add to his ranks as he prepares to apply the finishing touches to his title tilt in the Championship and believes any potential deals will more than likely be loan arrangements.
Rafa Benitez hopes to have two new signings in this month. It's looking more likely to be loans at present.

With the January market so often proving to be a difficult time of year to find value for money, Mike Ashley has had his fingers burnt before in years gone by during his time in ownership of the Tyneside titans.
