Newcastle Full Back to be Given a Second Chance After Disappointing Loan Spell in Italy

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez will reportedly give Moroccan international left back Achraf Lazaar a chance to revive his Newcastle career in pre season, despite a disastrous loan spell with Serie A strugglers Benvenito.

According to chroniclelive.co.uk, Benitez wants to take a fresh look at the 26 year old before deciding whether to sign a new left back or stick with the man he signed in 2016.

Reports say that Benitez has told the player to stay fit for Newcastle's pre-season, and the Moroccan's hopes will be boosted by the departures of full-backs Massadio Haidara and Jesus Gamez.
