Talk of the Toon
Fabian Schar has signed a new two-year deal with Newcastle.
The Switzerland international has been a key part of Eddie Howe’s side this season, playing the full 90 minutes in 22 of the former Bournemouth manager’s 24 games in charge of the Toon.
Centre-back Schar, 30, said: “I’m absolutely delighted. It’s what I always wanted — to stay here to play for this unbelievable club.
“Since my first day in Newcastle, I felt so comfortable. It’s like a second home and now to stay here for some more years, I’m delighted.”
Howe added: “I’ve been delighted with Fabian’s form. He is the ultimate professional and a hugely important player in our dressing room.
“I’m delighted he has committed himself to the club. He is very driven for future success and I’m pleased he will be a part of our future.”
Crowd trouble
West Ham are investigating after German commentators were allegedly attacked by a home fan during last night’s Europa League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.
German paper Bild reported the broadcasters had their headsets ripped off and thrown to the floor at the London Stadium.
The incident took place after Michail Antonio equalised for the Hammers in the first leg of their semi-final, which they went on to lose 2-1.
A West Ham spokesperson said: “In line with our zero-tolerance approach, anyone identified will have their details passed to the police.
“They will be given an indefinite ban and be unable to enter London Stadium and travel with the club. There is no place for this kind of behaviour.”
