According to reports in The Sun, on-loan Stoke City forward Jese Rodriguez was involved in a bust-up with manager Mark Hughes on Saturday that may have thrown his future with the Potters into doubt.

The Sun says that the 24-year-old was so furious when he realised that he wasn't going to be brought on as a substitute in the win against Swansea City at the Bet365 Stadium at the weekend that he stormed down the tunnel before the final whistle.

The fall-out with Hughes and the fact that he has found first-team starts hard to come by in recent weeks may result in his season-long loan spell being cut short in January, and that could mean the Paris Saint-Germian attacker is available for another temporary spell away or even on a permanent basis.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United have picked up just one point from the last 18 available after making a decent start to the campaign on their return to the Premier League, and boss Rafa Benitez will already be looking at potential new signings to strengthen his struggling squad in the New Year.

If Jese is sent back to PSG, Benitez may well be making a really shrewd moveby bringing the Spaniard to St James' Park.

Here are three reasons Newcastle should move for the unhappy Jese if his Stoke loan is cut short…

They need a new attacker or two

Newcastle have scored just 14 goals in 15 Premier League matches so far this season and Rafa Benitez will know that if the Magpies are to stay away from the relegation zone, that is a record that must improve.

The club's three main strikers Joselu, Dwight Gayle and Aleksandar Mitrovic have scored just five of those 14, while the usual attacking midfield trio of Ayoze Perez, Matt Ritchie and Christian Atsu have two between them.

If Benitez is looking for a new attacker in January and Jese becomes available, he could be tempted to make a move for the 24-year-old.

His qualities

You don't play nearly 100 first-team games for Real Madrid and earn a move to Paris Saint-Germain unless you have something about you, and with a regular run in a team like Newcastle you get the feeling that Jese could finally showcase his abilities on a consistent basis.

The versatile forward showed a glimpse of the talent he has with a brilliant goal in the win against Arsenal earlier in the season, while he has also created eight chances and provided one assist for his teammates in nine Premier League appearances.

The 24-year-old is a good dribbler – according to Squawka he has successfully completed 10 of the 15 take-ons he has attempted in the top flight this term – while his record of 18 goals in 94 matches for Real shows he does have the ability to find the net, too.

Potential loan deal

While his wages could be a potential problem for Newcastle given that The Mirror says that Rafa Benitez has asked for £20m to spend on three players during the January transfer window, the fact that the Magpies may be able to sign Jese on loan for the second-half of the season may make him a more attractive option.

With Benitez and the 24-year-old both being Spanish the former Real Madrid boss may feel that he can get the best out of the attacker, and his performances could help the Tyneside outfit stay away from the bottom three.
