da dobrowin: It would be fair to say that the Newcastle United fans are a very frustrated bunch at the moment.
da leao: Indeed, head coach Rafael Benitez recently admitted that he would have to sell players before he could spend in this summer’s transfer window.
Kenedy and Ki Sung-yueng have both arrived at St James’ Park, but the former was a loan signing from Chelsea whilst the latter arrived on a free transfer.
Benitez might well have to look to promote from within in order to freshen up his squad during the 2018-19 campaign, and Victor Fernandez is one player who will be looking to impress during pre-season.
The 20-year-old made 18 Premier League 2 appearances for Newcastle’s Under-23 side last term, whilst he also featured on three occasions in the EFL Trophy.

The attacker played in Newcastle’s pre-season clash with St. Patrick’s Athletic on Tuesday, meanwhile, and impressed during his team’s 2-0 win.
The Newcastle fans have since tipped Fernandez to potentially save the club some money in the transfer market, as he could be ready to fill a position in the squad.
