It appears is is going to be hectic last few days of January for Rafa Benitez's Newcastle United with plenty of arrivals and departures expected before the transfer window is firmly closed.

According to Sports Witness, one player that appears to be heading for the St James' Park exit and deemed surplus to requirements is Henri Saivet after making a solitary league appearance so far this season against West Ham.

Reports suggest that Turkish side Sivasspor are especially interested in signing the midfielder initially on loan, but they face competition from French side Montpellier.
