Newcastle United are one of the two teams in the Premier League who are yet to register a win in the Premier League this season and it is no surprise their poor form has seen them languish at the bottom of the table.
At this point, it would make sense if Rafael Benitez is focused on strengthening his side’s attack in January as they have netted only six times so far in nine matches.
Calciomercato.com says otherwise as they report the ex-Liverpool manager has set his sights on Francesco Vicari and has sent scouts to ‘follow closely’ the SPAL defender.
They are not the only outlet to talk about the Tyneside club chasing the Serie A centre-back as SportMediaset are also relaying the same information.
In addition to that, they also report the English club have been following the 24-year-old since the start of the season and he has ‘convinced’ the Spanish coach with his display.
SportMediaset further go on to stress the Italian side could receive an offer from Newcastle in January and this report could be credible because the same source also reported in September that Benitez was planning on bringing Vicari to St James’ Park.
