#2.Joselu

<p>

Another new signing who has failed to deliver this season is Joselu, who has managed to score only two goals in 10 games so far including a fortunate strike against Liverpool. The Spaniard was signed from Stoke City and has featured in almost every game this season. However, he is hardly seen on the pitch during matches and whenever he gets the touch of the ball, he fails to make use of it.

Newcastle's attack is the biggest concern for Rafa Benitez as he has no major options to replace Joselu up front. It was expected that Newcastle would sign a top striker in the summer window, but with the funds the board provided, Joselu was the best one Rafa could manage to sign.

Aleksander Mitrovic, who is seemingly a better option than Joselu could replace him temporarily till the winter transfer window in which Rafa Benitez would be hoping to sign a top-class striker in order to improve his attacking options.
