Recommended Posts

How is he so sound though, and proper chill even when he's being flattened.

 

Such a dependable player that doesn't look a shade different since his injury.

I love Krafth as he's so dependable. I was a right-back/right centre-half too and I really appreciate him. Should absolutely be getting a new contract (probably two years) if he wants it this summer. Will get a lot more minutes next season if we get into Europe.

Pretty much a no brainer.

Defender Emil Krafth has signed a contract extension that will keep him with the club until the end of the 2025/26 season.

The 50-time Sweden international has been with the Magpies since 2019 when he joined from French side Amiens and has since made 93 appearances for the club.

Krafth has appeared eight times in all competitions this season, including making a return from a collarbone injury in a 3-2 Emirates FA Cup victory over Birmingham City earlier this month.

After signing his extension, Krafth said: "I'm delighted to extend my time at Newcastle United for another year. It's an exciting time to be part of this club.

"We have a lot to play for throughout the rest of this season, and I'm looking forward playing my part in helping the team finish the season in a positive way.

"It feels like home here for both me and my family, having been here for such a long time. We all enjoy everything about being part of this club, and I love playing for Newcastle United."

Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe said: "I'm delighted we have extended Emil's contract. He is an incredible professional in the way he trains, plays and conducts himself.

"He offers us versatility in defensive positions, which is vital to have, along with vast experience and a steadying influence. He will continue to be an important part of our squad on and off the pitch."

Paul Mitchell, the club's sporting director, said: "Emil can play across different defensive positions and he gives the first team squad important balance.

"He is ultra-professional, and given his experience both at club and international level, it made it a simple decision for the club to extend his contract.

"These decisions are part of a collaborative process internally, and we'll continue to work closely to optimise our chances of success in the short, medium and long term."
