Newcastle United are set to hold contract talks over the future of Fabian Schar. The 30-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season having agreed a one-year extension last term.
This has come off the back of Schar's recent up-turn in form, where he has helped the Magpies to five victories in their last six matches, scoring in the 2-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion. His partnership with Dan Burn has been vital as Newcastle have moved out of the relegation zone and up to 14th in the Premier League table.
The Swiss international has featured in all but one of the Magpies' league games since Eddie Howe was appointed in November after being frozen out by Steve Bruce. Ironically, the only match Schar didn't start was the 4-0 home defeat against Manchester City.
