All Greek to Toon as Rafa is frustrated

NEWCASTLE risk missing out on Greece international Andreas Samaris as Rafael Benitez’s budget headaches continue.

Toon boss Benitez wants the defensive midfielder (above) in a £17.5million deal.

Mirror Sport revealed Newcastle officials have held talks with Samaris’s club Benfica but Benitez is having to juggle his resources this summer.

Samaris is keen on a switch to England but is not prepared to wait indefinitely.
