Newcastle Transfer News: Matt Targett on Eddie Howe’s radar

Newcastle United have had an eventful transfer window so far and the Magpies are looking to wrap it up with a defensive signing.

According to a report from The Athletic, the Magpies are looking to sign Matt Targett from Aston Villa before Monday’s transfer deadline.

Villa have recently signed Lucas Digne from Everton and Targett has now fallen down the pecking order at the West Midlands club.

The 26-year-old needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and it will be interesting to see if Newcastle can agree on a fee for him.
