Rafa Benitez is concerned by Newcastle´s poor business in the transfer window.

Rafa Benitez is becoming frustrated with Newcastle's lack of progress in the transfer market. The Magpies have made an offer of £8m for Norwich winger Jacob Murphy, but they have been told he is not for sale. 

Interest in another winger, Middlesbrough's Adama Traore, has been ended. Winger Jesus Navas was also mentioned some weeks ago, but it appears that the Spain international will return to his former club Sevilla. 

It was the club´s failure to land Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham and Man City goalkeeper Willy Caballero, which angered Spanish manager Benitez the most. 

Furthermore, Benitez has no idea how much money is in the transfer kitty at Newcastle United. Benitez is working around the clock to strengthen his squad. 

For now, defender Florian Lejeune has been the only new face throught the door for Newcastle.
