5 Premier League players who need to move in January

#3 Aleksander Mitrovic (Newcastle United)

Mitrovic has to improve if he's to represent Serbia at the World Cup

As mentioned in the earlier slide about Newcastle's struggles up front, one of the main culprits for the same is the terrible form of Mitrovic, the man once thought to be the next big thing at St. James' Park.

Brought in from the Belgian side Anderlecht after a prolific campaign, the Serb has found the going really difficult after a fairly convincing debut season in 2015/16.

This season, Mitrovic has been given only six chances to prove his worth (all from the bench) but has mustered a poor return of just one goal whilst also being guilty of squandering some good chances and losing his temper frequently.

Rafa Benitez has been cautious when it comes to pinning his hopes on him after being consistently disappointed and would be more than happy to offload him.

It may be time for Mitrovic to start afresh.
