"One of those that has been tipped to depart has been relied upon for over six years, that being versatile defender Emil Krafth. Krafth joined Newcastle back in the summer of 2019 from French side Amiens. In the period since arriving on Tyneside, he has registered 106 appearances, with the latest coming in the 3-1 defeat to West Ham in the Premier League last weekend, as he deputised for the unwell Kieran Trippier."
"The 31-year-old is out of contract at the end of this season, and there is a feeling that Newcastle would be prepared to accept a cut-price deal for a player that is destined to end his time at the club in 2026. Given that Newcastle have Tino Livramento and Trippier ahead of Krafth in the pecking order, coupled with the fact that Malick Thiaw has filled in there during matches, it makes sense for the veteran defender to leave."
Emil Krafth joined Newcastle in the summer of 2019 from Amiens and has made 106 appearances for the club. The 31-year-old featured in the 3-1 Premier League defeat to West Ham while deputising for an unwell Kieran Trippier. Krafth sits behind Tino Livramento and Kieran Trippier in the club pecking order, with Malick Thiaw also covering the position. The 31-year-old is out of contract at the end of this season and Newcastle may accept a cut-price deal. Danish side FC Copenhagen have registered interest and a January move closer to Sweden remains possible, though Newcastle could retain him until summer for squad depth.
