Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe announced that veteran defender Fabian Schar is expected to sign a new contract soon, highlighting his continued importance to the squad. Although the team is set to evolve with new signings, Schar, who joined the club in 2018 and has made 220 appearances, has proven his value this season. At 33, while he may play less in the future, he remains a crucial mentor for younger players and a reliable presence in Howe's squad.
"I think Fabby will hopefully be signing his contract imminently, if he hasn't already," Howe said at his latest press conference.
Schar has been a key player at St James' Park for several years now, and it seems he's set to extend his stay for a bit longer.
Even if we're likely to see the Magpies making major signings in a variety of positions this summer, it seems clear that Howe is also still planning to use Schar on a regular basis.
At the age of 33, Schar's peak is clearly behind him, but he can still make a valuable contribution to Howe's squad.
