A bargain – Newcastle completing a £10m deal for this jet-heeled star would be an outstanding move
Why a fee of £10m for Jetro Willems would be a bargain for Newcastle
According to the Chronicle Live, Newcastle United are weighing up the possibility of completing a permanent deal for Eintracht Frankfurt loanee Jetro Willems, with the Magpies having a buy clause in the loan agreement.
The 25-year-old Dutchman has made a promising start to life in the north-east of England since coming through the door on loan in the summer, having impressed the hierarchy at St. James’ Park with his rich vein of form early in the campaign.
Willems, who has already made 5 appearances in the Premier Leauge, scored a sensational goal in the 3-1 defeat away at Liverpool and put in yet another solid shift at the back to guide the Magpies to a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Man United heading into the international break.
The powerful left-back started the season as an understudy to Matt Ritchie but an injury to the veteran has allowed him to enjoy plenty of involvement in the playing eleven
The 25-year-old has grabbed his opportunities with both hands to quickly establish himself as one of the standout performers in what has otherwise been a disappointing start to the campaign for the Magpies.
Interestingly, Willems’ strong performances early in the season have already prompted Newcastle to consider the possibility of acquiring his services on a permanent basis beyond the end of the current season.
As per the report, the left-back has a release clause of £10million in his contract at Eintracht Frankfurt and with the Magpies holding the option to trigger the buy clause in the agreement, they might as well benefit from the fact that the clause they negotiated was on the back of an injury-hit season with Bundesliga side.
To put things into perspective, Jetro Willems is as good as gold for a fee of £10 million and the Magpies would land themselves a massive bargain if they manage to iron out a permanent deal for the Dutchman in the coming months.
Of course, such a deal would depend on how things pan out for the 25-year-old in the remainder of the campaign while ensuring survival in the Premier League is a must if Newcastle are to secure his services permanently.
However, there is no denying the fact that Willems has already made a big impression at Tyneside and a fee of £10 million would definitely be a wonderful piece of business for a player who joined Frankfurt from PSV Eindhoven for £7 million in 2017.
The former Sparta Rotterdam youth graduate, who burst on to the scene for The Netherlands as an 18-year-old in the UEFA Euro 2012, made a total of 192 appearances across six seasons for PSV Eindhoven before moving on Frankfurt and while his time in Germany has been plagued by injuries, Willems continues to be an impressive attacking full-back at the age of 25.
Having racked up more than 250 career appearances at the senior professional level, the 22-cap Dutch international already boasts of envious CV for a player of his age and he still has plenty of offer at the highest level.
Mike Ashley’s interest in developing players is well documented and Willems could possibly fetch a good resale value if the Magpies do opt to cash in on him in the future.

Plus, with Matt Ritchie already 30 and out of contract in 2021, the Magpies might as well look at the 25-year-old as a good long-term solution to their wing-back problems.
Suffice to say, Newcastle wrapping up a permanent deal for Jetro Willems would make perfect sense for a number of reasons and, to be honest, £10 million is comparable to a drop of water in the ocean as far as any Premier League club is concerned.

Heidi Hills Hat Trick Helps Tottenham Women’s Under 19s to Big Win Over Newcastle as Young Forward Takes Season Tally to 10 Goals in Emphatic 7-2 Victory
Heidi Hills’ hat trick inspired Tottenham Women’s Under 19s to a big 7-2 win over Newcastle United in the Professional Game Academy League on Wednesday afternoon. The young forward got Spurs off to the perfect start at Hotspur Way as she curled home from distance inside four minutes at the training ground.
Although Casi Gregson grabbed a leveller for the visitors midway through the first period, Spurs showed a clinical edge in the second half to score six of their seven goals in the emphatic win. This is absolutely brilliant from Sabiha Jamal’s side, who have now extended their unbeaten run to four games in all competitions.
Wonderful Strike From Nife Aramide Reinstated Lead
A wonderful strike from Nife Aramide reinstated the lead minutes after the restart before Ruby Mace opened her account for the season to create a two goal advantage. Although the Magpies halved the deficit once again just before the hour mark, four goals in a 13 minute spell put any doubt of a late Newcastle comeback to an end.
Hills headed home the fourth before setting up Grace Bellwood for the fifth of the afternoon, making it four consecutive games with a goal for the young forward. She then grabbed a second shortly after to make it 6-2, which demonstrated the striker’s instinct.
Converted From Penalty Spot to Complete Hat Trick
Then, with four minutes remaining in the clash, Hills was brought down inside the area, and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. The versatile youngster stepped up and calmly slotted away for her hat trick, which is frankly exceptional for a player of her age.
It was Hills’ second hat trick of the campaign, following her treble against Gwalia United in the FAWNL Cup in October, and saw her move to double figures for goals in all competitions. Head coach Sabiha Jamal named Evie Northwood in the starting XI for her first start since October 2024.

Newcastle United Midfielder Signs New Contract Until Summer 2028 as Magpies Move to Secure Services of Rising Star Amid Promotion Push
Newcastle United midfielder Jasmine McQuade has signed a new contract with the club until summer 2028. The 23 year old has become a household name for The Magpies in the Women’s Championship and has been rewarded for her impressive performances with an extended deal.
McQuade initially joined Newcastle’s development team after impressing with Tyne-Tees neighbours Middlesbrough. She has since broken into the senior squad and established herself as a key player for Newcastle in their promotion push. The midfielder was part of the side that won the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division title back in 2023-24.
Twelve Appearances This Season
McQuade has made 12 appearances for Newcastle United in the Championship this season, scoring two goals. She has helped the club mount a serious bid for promotion to the Women’s Super League, with The Magpies sitting in the playoff positions as they chase a return to the top flight.
Newcastle have clearly identified McQuade as having a big future in the game and have therefore moved quickly to retain her services for an extended period. This is smart business from the club that cannot afford to lose its best young talent.
Over the Moon to Extend Stay
After signing her new contract, McQuade said, “I’m over the moon. I love being at this club, and to extend my stay is amazing. The club is so ambitious, we just strive for success. The club has no limits, and I love being part of it.”
These are exactly the kind of words Newcastle supporters want to hear from one of their rising stars. McQuade’s commitment to the project shows she believes in what the club are trying to achieve.
Newcastle United will return to action following the March international window. They face Sheffield United in their next Championship match at Bramall Lane on Saturday March 14, 2026.

Newly-Appointed Manager Urges Newcastle Players to “Embrace the Chaos” Ahead of Managerial Debut
Tanya Oxtoby prepares to take charge of her first match as Newcastle United Women manager when Southampton visit the Gateshead International Stadium on Monday night.
The 43-year-old Australian was appointed on November 24 following Becky Langley’s dismissal in October, signing a contract until June 2029 that reflects Newcastle’s long-term ambitions under PIF ownership.
Excited to Be on the Grass Again – Tanya Oxtoby
Oxtoby admitted she has missed daily contact with players during her two years managing Northern Ireland’s national team, describing being back in club management as giving her “the biggest smile and buzz.”
She emphasized her passion for player development, stating that helping both players and staff improve represents a genuine privilege that drove her return to club football.
The former Chelsea assistant has spent recent days implementing her philosophy across training sessions at Newcastle’s Gateshead base, telling players to be brave, forward-thinking and embrace the chaotic nature of football: “My main message has been to be brave but also be forward-thinking and embrace the chaos, because football isn’t pretty all the time.”
Immediate Improvements Already Visible
Despite only conducting a handful of sessions since officially starting work, Oxtoby confirmed she has already witnessed improvements from the Newcastle squad. She praised the players for embracing her coaching methods and enjoying the challenges she sets, noting everyone at the club shares massive ambitions for where Newcastle Women can progress.
The Magpies sit fourth in the Women’s Championship after nine matches, though they have played fewer games than promotion rivals Charlton and Birmingham City due to League Cup commitments. Newcastle’s most recent home league fixture came on October 12, making Monday’s clash their first competitive match at GIS in nearly two months.
