Newcastle hope for 'successful conclusion' to Schar talks
Fabian Schar may have tapped his chest as Newcastle United supporters sang his name at St James' Park last week. Newcastle previously announced that fellow long-serving defenders Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth were leaving. Head coach Eddie Howe has spoken to Schar about a new deal and sporting director Ross Wilson is now handling discussions with the centre-back's representatives.
