Jetro Willems was one of the players Newcastle United signed in the summer, albeit on a loan basis.
He arrived at St James’ Park from Eintracht Frankfurt and as part of the deal, the Magpies have an option to make the left-back’s transfer permanent after this season.
After coming off the bench against Arsenal in the first match-day, he was dropped for the next two fixtures.
Since then he has made four starts in the league, managing a goal against Liverpool and assisting Matt Longstaff’s winner against Manchester United.
Steve Bruce’s side are just one point above relegation zone and they could be in for a long season.
Thus, there should be more clarity towards next summer as to how things will continue for both Newcastle and Willems.
