Newcastle United supporters have been desperate for Rafael Benitez to be given some money to spend in the transfer market.
And, according to The Sun, Newcastle United are in the running for Ryan Bertrand, which represents a significant shift in transfer policy from last season.
Newcastle fans were extremely frustrated last summer and in January, with a lack of investment in their squad causing criticism.
However, the signs are encouraging that Rafael Benitez may just have money to spend at the end of the season.
The Southampton defender is said to be available for £25 million.
Whether Newcastle will win the race for the defender remains to be seen, but the links are encouraging regardless.
Would Benitez spend £25 million on a left-back? This season he was only given £19m to BUILD A TEAM!
Isn't it time Newcastle started showing ambition in the transfer market?
