Rafa has transformed much-maligned 26-yr-old: Three things learned in Newcastle win v Leicester
Dummett has been transformed
This time last year Paul Dummett was getting pelters for his performances in the Championship, but now, in the Premier League, he is getting compared to Italy legend Paolo Maldini.
Benitez has completely transformed the 26-year-old from an underperforming left-back into a real asset to the side and his form has been a major part in keeping the Magpies up in the Premier League.
Remember that mad scramble for a left-back in the summer? That seems completely pointless now having seen Dummett put in yet another fine performance against Leicester.
In other Newcastle United news, West Ham are eyeing a summer swoop for this £60,000-a-week Magpies player.
