According to Chronicle Live, Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez has been assured that he will have money to spend in the January transfer window.

The Magpies have been strongly linked with a move for Atlanta United playmaker Miguel Almiron in recent weeks, and are said to be in the driving seat.

Chronicle Live have insisted that Benitez will be backed in the January window regardless of whether the club is sold either side of the new year.

Newcastle could well bring two or three new players to the club in the early stages of 2019 as they look to improve on what has been a disappointing 2018-19 campaign to date.

The Newcastle fans have been on social media reacting to the story, and it would be fair to say that not too many are confident when it comes to signing new players in January.
