Rafa Benitez and his team have yet to fire in their Premier League season

Rafael Cabral (Napoli):

Rafael Cabral

Hailing from Sorocaba and through the youth ranks of Santos, Rafael was highly rated at Brazil. He made 94 appearances in just 3 years of senior football. The Brazilian moved to Napoli at the age of 22 during the summer of 2013.

Since then, he has made 45 appearances for the Italian Giants with 34 coming during the 2014/15 season. Anyone competing with Pepe Reina will struggle to get game time. Since the permanent arrival of the Spaniard, Rafael has struggled to make a mark at Napoli.

A reunion with Rafa Benitez may be on the cards for Rafael. Any decent offer for the 27-year-old can see him moving from Naples to St.James Park. Rafael is surely an upgrade to Darlow and Newcastle should seek a new goalkeeper before the transfer window closes.
