According to reports out of Italy, Newcastle United are interested in acquiring the services of Sampdoria midfielder Dennis Praet.
Calciomercato states that Rafa Benitez is keen to bring in the 23-year-old Belgian as he seeks to find true quality in the center of midfield.
The former Anderlecht man has always shown great promise, and can change matches with his silky smooth play.
He’d be essentially a less blunt force option than Jonjo Shelvey would be in midfield, but he also brings dynamic running and passing along with him.
This is the kind of signing that the Magpies should be making, but transfer funds are tight at the moment in the northeast.
Due to this fact, the deal for Praet might not get done in the end, unfortunately. Unless, of course, they figure out a way to sell off some players first!
