Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez is keen to offload a number of players in order to strengthen the squad.

"Obviously at the end of the transfer window everything is important so, every day, if you can do business it makes a difference for the future," Benitez said.

"A lot of the time we are trying to do our job behind the scenes and at the same time try to concentrate on football.

"Obviously, if you move players out or players in, it will be a big difference.

"We are working to try and move players in too.

"We have too many players. We have to keep moving players but at the same time we have to try and bring players that can give us something different.

"We don't have too many strikers and we don't want to lose any at the moment."
