Newcastle United supporters were overwhelmingly positive on social media after Emil Krafth penned a one-year contract extension. Alongside Joelinton, Ryan Fraser and Fabian Schar, the Swedish international was one of the most improved players under Eddie Howe last season.
The 27-year-old is now on the books until 2024 and will compete with Kieran Trippier and Javier Manquillo for the right-back spot. Signing a new deal seemed out of the question for Krafth a year ago due to a mixed first two seasons on Tyneside.
However, his improved form at the back end of 2021-22 - while Trippier was sidelined through injury - has earned him an extension. Fans praised the Swede for his turnaround once the news broke.
