Valentino Lazaro has yet to make his first start for Newcastle since making the move from Internazionale during the January transfer window.The Toon captured the Austria international on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy, but he has only made one appearance from the bench to date.
Can you name the result these iconic Liverpool images belong to? Give it a go now…
On Wednesday, he spoke to Sky Sports’ Keith Downie about his move to St. James’ Park. The journalist revealed that the 23-year-old said he made the right choice in choosing the Magpies over RB Leipzig, and that he accepts his responsibility to push Steve Bruce’s side further up the pitch. Downie also said that Lazaro is in contention to start against Arsenal this weekend.
With three goals and six assists last season in the Bundesliga for Hertha Berlin, he has proven that he has what it takes to provide some attacking thrust.
As Newcastle have the lowest average possession in the Premier League with 39.4%, as well as just 9.9 shots per game in the top flight, his qualities could be vital between now and the end of the campaign.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are interested in this 13-goal striker.
