Matz Sels comments on Newcastle United return

Belgium goalkeeper Matz Sels is not sure whether he will play for Newcastle United again.

The 25-year-old joined the Magpies in 2016 on a five-year contract for a reported transfer fee of £6.5 million, and became the most expensive goalkeeper in Newcastle’s history.

However, he failed to live up to the expectations, and found it difficult to command the penalty area. After making only nine championship appearances, it became very clear that he is the weak link in Rafa Benitez’s squad.

He returned to Belgium on loan, and now could make his move permanent at the end of the season.
