Mags ready to loan out winger Aarons

-

Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez is ready to loan out Rolando Aarons before the transfer window closes on Wednesday night.

Aarons has made just five appearance­s – and scored one goal – for Newcastle this season.

And Benitez is open to loan offers for the 22-year-old after signing Kenedy, 21, from Chelsea until the summer.

Benitez is also looking to sell or loan ex-Sunderland midfielder Jack Colback, while defender Jamie Sterry could also be farmed out.

Asked if he expected anyone to leave before Wednesday’s transfer deadline, Benitez said: “Colback and Sterry are on the market, and the other players? It depends if we sign or not and in which positions.

“One that maybe now has more chance to leave is Rolando Aarons. I was talking with himandhewa­ssayingwew­ere bringing in another player and maybe he could go. But we need to have the right team for him. “We had one good option, but now we have to wait and then we are waiting for any other options. “He’s a young player, and he has to play. Bringing in Kenedy, we have another body in a position where normally he would play.

“If he can get a good club, we’ll allow him to go.

Keeper Freddie Woodman, 20, could also be loaned out.

Meanwhile, Newcastle defender Callum Williams has rejoined Gateshead on loan.

“We liked Callum first time around,” said Gateshead manager Steve Watson. “He’s a talented young lad who’s versatile and works hard for the team. He’s the type of individual that we want in our squad.”
