Newcastle coach Rafa Benitez wants Barcelona's Carles Alena. According to the Sun he has been following the midfielder's progress for months.
Alena made his debut this season under Luis Enrique and scored in the Copa del Rey against Hercules with a belting strike from distance. He was the Barcelona B player most used by Lucho.
According to the report he has ordeed his scouts to follow Alena closely. However he may end up requesting a loan of Alena, who might follow the footsteps of other players like Gerard Deulofeu, who look to move away and try their luck elsewhere as they develop.
Newcastle were led back to the Premier League by Rafa Benitez this season.
