Matt Targett has revealed how Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi made signing him a priority last summer during Newcastle United's summer rebuild.
The left-back had already served his loan spell from Aston Villa but the Newcastle co-owners told Targett he would be a big part of the club's plans moving forward and how they aimed to turn his temporary deal into a £15million permanent deal. Targett is loving life on Tyneside and has been a hit with supporters since arriving from the second city club.
Staveley held talks with Targett immediately after the final whistle in the 2-0 win against Arsenal with onfield discussions taking place. Targett said: "They said ‘thanks for everything - hopefully we can sort a deal out’.
