Former England and Arsenal shot stopper David Seaman believes Fabian Schar is like a new signing for Newcastle with the calming influence of Nick Pope behind him. Eddie Howe has made a concerted effort to improve the Magpies' dismal defensive record.
The back five unit is almost entirely new, with the exception of Swiss international, Schar. The Newcastle defender had looked to be on his way out of the door at St. James' Park, with question marks over his future prior to Howe's arrival.
However, since then, Schar has been one of the standout performers in the Premier League, with goals also added to his game.
