5 players Newcastle could sell to raise some transfer funds

#4 Karl Darlow

Karl Darlow has often found himself on bench duty this season

Darlow has flirted with being Newcastle's number one goalkeeper throughout his time at the club without ever quite managing to establish himself, playing 58 times in total since signing from Nottingham Forest in 2014.

He was impressive for the vast majority of the promotion season in 2016-17, playing 36 games and has featured 12 times in 2017-18 and was actually the man in possession of the shirt before Benitez signed Martin Dubravka on loan in January, which saw Darlow consigned to bench duty once more.

He almost signed for Middlesbrough last summer in a deal thought to be worth £5 million, and Benitez could expect to receive that sort of money again if Darlow were to be sold.

Importantly Benitez has cover in that area of the pitch. He has Rob Elliott currently on the books, while he also has Freddie Woodman and Matz Sels currently out on loan.

Benitez can afford to ship at least one of them out.
