Newcastle United are continuing their squad revamp on deadline day after securing a loan deal to sign Matt Targett on loan from Aston Villa.
Targett was likely to find game time limited at Villa Park following the arrival of Lucas Digne from Everton. Boss Steven Gerrard has now given the green light to let the 26-year-old leave temporarily.
The 26-year-old has otherwise been a regular for Aston Villa since joining from Southampton in 2019, making 89 appearances and helping the club re-establish themselves in the top flight.
Sportsmail revealed last week how Targett had been put on a shortlist of transfer targets as Newcastle look to bolster a squad in a bid to fight off relegation from the Premier League.
