da lvbet： Newcastle had a mixed transfer window in the summer but the addition of Jetro Willems is proving to be a very good piece of business, particularly as he is available for a relatively low fee.
da fezbet： A sum of £10m has been reported (Kicker, via The Chronicle) as the price that the Magpies will have to depart with to sign him from Frankfurt, but considering the level of performance he has put in so far that would be a bit of a bargain.
He has rarely put a foot wrong and also has two fine goals against Liverpool and Manchester City to boast about.
The fact Matt Ritchie hasn’t been missed since picking up an injury in August says everything about the contribution Willems has made, and if he continues then he could become a fan favourite at St. James’ Park, as several supporters already wish the club would make him a permanent Newcastle player.
The good news for the Magpies is that the Netherlands international is reportedly keen to extend his stay in the north-east, and that means the only slight hurdle would be providing the necessary funds.

There is a fixed price agreed, however, which means he should make the switch whenever the Magpies make the appropriate bid, and it is certainly a chance they shouldn’t miss out on.
Newcastle have spent a great deal on the striker department with little return, and that means they should do whatever they can to hold onto their best performers, which includes Willems.

Fans are certainly impressed with the left wing-back and it is a little surprising that Mike Ashley hasn’t swiftly taken the opportunity to increase his popularity by making the deal permanent, as the 25-year-old has received some very high praise.
Newcastle have reportedly been monitoring other potential additions, too, so our Football FanCast writers shared their views on whether Mason Holgate would be a good addition.
