Newcastle United manager Rafael Benitez will be demanding around £20million to spend on new players during the upcoming January transfer window.

Benitez has made no secret of his unhappiness at not being handed enough funds to spend during the summer.

And with Newcastle United currently struggling, the Spaniard has once again recently stressed the need for his side to be strengthened.

As a result, Benitez will surely be hoping to bring in new players during the January transfer window and according to the Mirror, the Spaniard will demand a £20million transfer war chest from the Magpies hierarchy.
