Magpies want him permanently
Newcastle want to sign Targett on a permanent basis, according to The Newcastle Chronicle.

Targett was one of the best players for Newcastle in the second half of the season, and the Tyneside club is keen to keep the Aston Villa loanee around on a permanent basis. The move could very well happen given the lack of minutes Targett had with the Midlands club.
