Federico Fernandez has set his sights on getting Newcastle across the Premier League finishing line after the club exercised a one-year option on his contract.
The 31-year-old Argentinian defender is the third senior player to extend his stay a St James' Park in a matter of days after midfielders Jonjo Shelvey and Matt Ritchie both signed contract extensions last Friday.
Fernandez, who joined the Magpies from Swansea during the summer of 2018, told NUFC TV: 'I'm very happy with the news - another year in the Premier League, with Newcastle.
'It's been a good time at the club, so when I spoke with the boss this morning and he told me the club wanted to do this, I told him that of course, for me and my family, it's good to know, and at this stage as well.
