Newcastle tie duo down to new contracts
According to recent reports, Newcastle United have successfully tied down two key players to new contracts.
The Magpies have reportedly agreed to new deals with midfielder Jonjo Shelvey and defender Fabian Schär, both of whom have been instrumental in the team's recent success.
Shelvey, 30, has been a mainstay in the Newcastle midfield since joining the club in 2016, making over 150 appearances and scoring 14 goals. His new contract is believed to be a three-year deal, keeping him at St. James' Park until 2025.
Schär, 29, has been a rock at the heart of the Newcastle defense since joining the club in 2018, making over 100 appearances and scoring 14 goals. His new contract is also believed to be a three-year deal, keeping him at the club until 2025.
Both players have been praised for their performances this season, with Shelvey providing a creative spark in midfield and Schär forming a solid partnership with fellow defender Jamaal Lascelles at the back.
The news will be a welcome boost for Newcastle fans, who have been eagerly awaiting updates on the futures of their key players. The Magpies are currently 11th in the Premier League table, and the stability provided by these new contracts could be a significant factor in their push for a top-half finish.
