Martin Montoya
A rare shining light in Valencia’s side last season, former Barcelona right-back Montoya caught the eye from the right side of defence in a side devoid of any kind of consistency.
Scoring two goals and adding another three assists in his 31 league and cup outings, Montoya would be the perfect addition from Benitez’s former side this summer.
Newcastle are expected to confirm the loss of Holland international Vurnon Anita as his contract expires on June 30, and a replacement is needed at right-back. Montoya should be high on Benitez’s list to replace the Toon utility man.
