New Toon Dum deal

TOM HOPKINSON PAUL DUMMETT is set to follow Fabian

Schar’s lead by signing a contract extension at Newcastle.

Schar put pen to paper on a new two-year deal on

Friday to end speculation that he might leave St James’ Park on a free transfer.

And now Dummett, whose agreement is up in June, is hoping to get a new deal over the line with boss Eddie Howe keen to keep the left-back.

Dummett, 30, has suffered with injuries this season, but there is belief at the club he still has plenty to offer.
