Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return to Newcastle
Newcastle United could recall Targett from his loan at Middlesbrough during the January transfer window, according to iNews.
ANALYSIS
Newcastle United need to bolster their depth defensively due to several injuries. Targett is a veteran with lots of experience in the Premier League, so he would be an excellent depth alternative for a Magpies team that will participate in four competitions in the opening months of 2026.
