Matz Sels leaving Newcastle United is a summer transfer fans can count on happening in the next window, at least that’s the opinion of Belgium’s Het Nieuwsblad.
Cataergorising potential summer transfers involving Belgian players, Sels leaving Newcastle is put in the most likely bracket.
They’ve even put a graphic together to show it.
An exit would be no surprise, given Rafael Benitez has demoted the goalkeeper to his third choice option at St James’ Park.
Het Nieuwsblad say Sels, quite obviously, is unhappy with his situation, but they point out the soon to be Premier League club aren’t pleased either, with everyone looking for a solution in the next window.
Sels didn’t arrive cheaply at Newcastle, but his reputation has obviously dropped since moving to the Championship club, and seeing himself pushed out of the picture. Given the current situation, a loan move could be the likeliest route in the summer transfer window, with a purchase option for whoever takes Sels on.
