A lot of Newcastle United fans are delighted at a story in the Northern Echo, which suggests that the Toon have agreed a £9.3m fee with Eintracht Frankfurt to turn Jetro Willems’ loan into a permanent transfer.

The Dutchman has impressed in his time on Tyneside so far, and this news has delighted a lot of Newcastle fans.

Would you be happy if Newcastle signed Willems permanently?

Yes, he is brilliant

Other Toon supporters, though, are worried that this will be the club’s whole budget spent.

What do we think?

If this is true, then it would be a fantastic deal for Newcastle to complete – as Willems has had a great season for the Magpies and has adapted to the Premier League very well.

In 14 appearances, he has also contributed to five goals directly and has filled in for Matt Ritchie brilliantly.

When Ritchie was injured, many were worried that the Toon would not be able to cope without him, but Willems has become one of their best players, and if they do manage to bring him in permanently, then that would be a major boost for Steve Bruce.

Bringing Willems in was a risk, but he has proved himself a worthy Premier League player, and Newcastle will be delighted if they can seal his future on Tyneside.
