Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez is happy to see Jack Colback leave this month.

The Mirror says Newcastle have told Geordie duo Colback and Jamie Sterry they can move.

Colback has been frozen out under Rafa Benitez and told he won't play again.

He is reluctant to move his family away from the North East, and has been linked with a return to Sunderland.

However his wages are a problem for the Wearsiders who need to offload to do deals.

Newcastle will also listen to £5m offers for Henri Saivet who scored against West Ham in December.
