Sheffield Wednesday may have to pay £2m and £0.5m in wages to sign Lazaar

Achraf Lazaar could be on his way out of Newcastle United this summer after struggling for playing time at St James’ Park. The left-back has spent the season on loan at Sheffield Wednesday and revealed in April that the Owls were keen on turning his move permanent. He’s reported to have a £2m asking price.

Since joining the Magpies from US Palermo in 2016, Lazaar has made 10 appearances in all competitions. The 27-year-old has played just one game for Newcastle in the last 16 months, however, and doesn’t appear to have a future in the North-East.
