Newcastle United's attack has been a problem area for manager Rafael Benitez this season.

The team have failed to recreate the scintillating displays that earned them 85 goals in the Championship in the 2016-17 campaign.

In fact, the Magpies have scored just 22 goals in 24 Premier League matches, with Joselu top-scoring on a tally of four.

For the majority of the season so far, Benitez has stuck with Joselu and Dwight Gayle, who has netted just three goals.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has fallen down the pecking order and featured in just six league games, all of which were as a substitute.

In total, the forward, who has also been blighted by injury this season, has played 89 minutes of action in the top flight.

The Serbian's lack of game time has led to reports over his future, with Sky Sports claiming that Brighton have launched an offer to sign him.

Newcastle United editor of the Chronicle, Mark Douglas, has rubbished reports that the Seagulls' offer was worth £15m.

As mentioned by the reporter, Newcastle are unwilling to sell at around £7m, which has prompted fans to give their take on the situation.
