With Lloyd Kelly signed and sealed, Newcastle United are in the market for one more centre-back.
Lloyd Kelly will provide cover on the left, but it is the right where Newcastle United really need to invest.
The Magpies are hoping to sign a right-sided centre-back this summer, and you have to imagine that whoever arrives will be brought in to be Fabian Schar‘s long-term replacement. While Schar is going nowhere, it makes sense to look towards the future and identify who will be Sven Botman’s partner in the coming years.
Schar may believe it can be him, but he is 32-years-old. He is going to be replaced in the next year or so, but by whom remains to be seen.
It will not be Tosin Adarabioyo, who opted to sign for Chelsea instead of Newcastle, despite the Magpies being confident that he was going to sign for them.
It will probably not be Jarrad Branthwaite either, who Toon officials distanced themselves from last month. And that appears to have been the right decision given what is going on at Manchester United right now.
