Newcastle United defender Matt Targett has been linked with a potential move away from the club in recent months, with Leicester City reportedly showing interest in acquiring him. It has been indicated that the player is available for transfer this month, and it remains uncertain whether he will secure a move before the January window closes. Newcastle, having paid £15 million for the defender, is aiming to recoup most of that fee. With Lewis Hall currently serving as the first-choice left back at Newcastle, Targett is unlikely to receive regular game time during the second half of the campaign. Leicester, on the other hand, is in need of defensive reinforcements to bolster their defense in pursuit of Premier League survival.
