Matt Targett
29-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
Plays 90 against Espanyol
Targett played the full 90 during Friday's friendly against Espanyol.
ANALYSIS
Targett continues to play a large role in pre-season, playing the full 90 at left wing-back during Friday's friendly. The defender was hampered by injury and hardly appeared throughout the 2024/25 campaign, but could play a larger role if he can stay fit. Newcastle are hoping to compete in four competition, which should open the door for Targett to play a rotational role, especially in domestic cup competitions.

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