Matt Targett has revealed he "hopes" to be a Newcastle United player next season - and has dropped the biggest hint yet he wants to be part of Eddie Howe's revolution on Tyneside.
As Chronicle Live reported on March 8 that the Magpies agreed a purchase option for Targett of around £15million. Although Targett will have the final say on his future and has three years left of a lucrative deal at Aston Villa until 2025.
That essentially swings the emphasis back to talks with Eddie Howe and the club's boardroom team to agree personal terms on a permanent deal for the former England Under-21 star. The 26-year-old has proved a hit with supporters and has also courted the attention of Gareth Southgate over a possible senior summer call up.
