Gareth Southgate has insisted that the acquisition of Dutch young winger Marvin Emnes from Sparta Rotterdam for £3.2 million does not signal the club's intent to sell on Stewart Downing.
It is understood that Rafa Benitez is a long term admirer of Downing; and could make a summer bid for the England international.
"Stewart is very happy here and signed a long-term contract last season," added Southgate.
"We want to build a team that encourages him to stay longer."
