Matt Targett

Gets relegated as backup

Targett created 10 chances, sent in 34 crosses and made 13 tackles, 13 clearances and nine interceptions over 17 appearances (six starts) this season.
ANALYSIS
Targett began the campaign as a starter but lost momentum with an early injury and Dan Burn's nice performances when given the chance to play as a left-back. Since October, he made the starting XI just twice and the fact that he sustained another physical issue midseason didn't help at all. Now fully fit and with three years left at his contract, Targett will try to get more playing time next season and, if Newcastle is no longer interested in his services, a handful of EPL clubs that will certainly come calling.
