Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez is lining up a move for goalkeeper Pepe Reina that would see the former Liverpool pair reunited in the Premier League.

Reina, who has a year left on his deal with Napoli, was the No 1 at Anfield under Benitez for five years until the Spanish coach left in 2010.

They later worked together at the Serie A club and, after securing promotion back to the top flight with Newcastle, Benitez revealed he would be keen to sign him for a third time.
