According to The Chronicle, Rafa Benitez may reignite his interest in Stoke City left-back Erik Pieters. The report claims that the Dutch international would most likely ‘jump at the chance’ to join Newcastle in January if given the chance.
Pieters was first linked with Newcastle way back in 2014 and was highly rated by former Chief Scout Graham Carr during his time at PSV and now, having originally missed out on their man, it seems as if Newcastle are ready go back in for him.
The report says that the Stoke City left-back was someone the Magpies' boss had identified as a target during the most recent summer transfer window.
