Four more players wanted.

NEWCASTLE United boss Rafa Benitez has until the end of this month to finish reforming his squad for the Championship campaign.

The summer transfer window shuts at 11.00 on August 31 and Magpies manager Benitez is desperate to add further faces to his squad before that deadline.

Eight new signings have already been brought into St James' Park at a gross spend of PS45million this summer.

United are expected to be busy as Benitez continues his summer overhaul - up to four further faces, including a striker and an attackingmidfielder, could arrive.

'Emergency loans' are now unavailable to EFL clubs. meaning the Magpies must ensure their business is complete by August 31.
