Newcastle United have made their way back into the Premier League for the next term and are looking forward to revamping their side with players with significant amount of experience in the top flight. For that, they are not only looking into domestic talents but also for players from other major leagues from all over Europe.
The man in charge at St James’ Park, Rafa Benitez, has been the coach of the Italian side Napoli for quite a long time before moving to Spain to join Real Madrid. The Spaniard is well aware of the Italian Serie A and is looking forward to bring in one of the talented players in the form of the Greek goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis, who is currently playing for Udinese.
The Magpies boss has not been much impressed with the efforts of his current custodian Karl Darlow and is in need of someone who can handle the pressure of top flight football with much ease in the forthcoming season. The Greek shot-stopper has been in good form beneath the crossbar for his current club and might be a good addition to the Newcastle side for their comeback season in the top flight.
The 32-year-old goalkeeper has been one of the most consistent performers for his side since his arrival in 2013 and was very much impressive in the last season as well. He played in 34 matches for Udinese in their last campaign and kept eight clean sheets to show for his valiant efforts.
The player is known for his ball handling capability and also his ability to keep a cool head in even the most difficult situations. He has been brilliant between the sticks for his club and country, establishing himself as one of the most dedicated and composed players on the pitch. He also has very good leadership skills and can marshal his team well in the field.
Rafa Benitez, who has vast experience in the Premier League, having managed one of the top clubs in the competition in the form of Liverpool, is well aware of the fact that how intriguing and challenging the top flight can be for his team in the next term, with all the teams like Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton and defending champions Chelsea bringing in some of the top players in Europe to make the league even more competitive in the next term. So, the Magpies also need to land some good players who can help them have a good season in the next term.
