Newcastle want to sign Pepe Reina.

According to a report in The Sun Rafa Benitez is keen to bring the Napoli keeper to St James’ Park.

Reina brought Benitez to Liverpool but the keeper was sold by Brendan Rodgers as part of a cost cutting measure that has left Liverpool with a problem position over the last three seasons.

At the age of 34 Reina has been in impressive form this season for Napoli and would be interested in a return to the Premier League.

With one year left on his Napoli deal a two or three year contract to be re-united with his former manager would be very appealing.

Bringing in players experienced in the ways of the Premier League is a priority for Benitez with Reina fitting the bill after nine seasons at Anfield.

Benitez will need to manage his budget carefully but may find Napoli happy to strike a deal after a very public row on social media between Reina’s wife and a leading Napoli official.
