"Alonso and Garcia are here for their medical examination," Benitez told reporters. "They can't play on Saturday or on Tuesday in the Champions League but they're here and I'm pleased to have two more options.
"Garcia had a clause with a fee that had to be paid and we paid that. For us it was important to get this type of player although Barcelona didn't want to lose him.
"He played for me at Tenerife as a left winger and scored 16 goals. He can play on the left or right of midfield or as a second striker.
"At Barcelona he was also used as a striker in the youth teams so he can play four positions."
