Eddie Howe has instructed Newcastle United to cash in on 29-year-old English wide player Matt Targett in the winter transfer window.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Matt Targett does not have a future at Newcastle United. Eddie Howe has told the Tyneside outfit to entertain bids to sell the English full-back in the winter transfer window. Meanwhile, MLS club Charlotte FC and Bundesliga clubs Eintracht Frankfurt and FSV Mainz 05 are keen on signing the out-of-favour defender.
The rise and fall of Matt Targett
Matt Targett has reached a crossroads in his career after falling in the pecking order in the last 18 months. A native of Eastleigh, the Englishman spent his formative years in his homeland and graduated from the youth division at Southampton FC after joining the Premier League club as an eight-year-old.
The 29-year-old rose in prominence during his spell with Southampton before spending a few years with Aston Villa. Newcastle United initially signed Targett on loan from Aston Villa in January 2022 before completing a permanent move in the subsequent summer transfer window.
However, after a superb first 18 months at Newcastle United, he has become a backup option for Eddie Howe. The English wide player has managed only 80 minutes of game time across two appearances in all competitions thus far this term. So, the player’s long-term future at Newcastle United is uncertain.
What next?
The report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football has revealed Eddie Howe’s intentions with Matt Targett in the winter transfer window. The Newcastle United manager has instructed the Tyneside outfit to cash in on the Englishman, who cost them £15 million, this month.
The 29-year-old does not have a shortage of clubs pursuing his signature, with MLS outfit Charlotte FC and Bundesliga sides Eintracht Frankfurt and FSV Mainz 05 vying for his signature. In addition, Anderlecht will also look to secure his services this month. So, Newcastle United should not have any issues selling Targett in the winter transfer window.
Premier League clubs Fulham and Leicester City looked to sign Targett in the summer transfer window. However, a move abroad might be on the cards for the English full-back as Howe looks to continue reshaping his squad.
