Newcastle United hero Chris Waddle feels manager Rafa Benitez needs to boost his attack in January.

Waddle says Newcastle need to be active in the winter transfer window.

He told Radio 5 Live: "I think he needs two attacking players in January – a goalscorer and a creative player too, someone who can beat someone and see something in the final third.

“If Newcastle can add those two players to what they have already got, I think they will finish well up the league.

“It would not matter if they are loan deals until the end of the season like [Salomon] Rondon, but they have to be a priority for whoever is running the club. Without those additions then, for all their organisation, shape and effort, it is going to be a long and hard season if they do not have the ability to create good chances and put the ball in the net."
