Jamie Carragher believes Matt Targett has made a 'huge improvement' to Newcastle United despite all of the talk focusing on fellow January signing Kieran Trippier. The loanee has started every match so far except for the home win against parent club Aston Villa, and the Magpies have agreed a deal in principle to make the deal permanent this summer for around £15m.
Targett has so far proven to be a solid defensive option while also offering a threat on set-piece deliveries. It was this facet of the left-back's performance which drew praise from Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher during the Magpies' defeat at Chelsea on Sunday.
The Liverpool legend told Sky Sports: “The delivery from Targett has been on point again. On set-pieces, sometimes from open play, that left foot of Targett’s is so good.
