11 left-backs that Newcastle United should consider in transfer window to solve defensive crisis
Newcastle United face an injury crisis after Jetro Willems and Paul Dummet were ruled out for the rest of the season with injuries. That surely means that the Magpies will have to dip into the transfer market to pick up a replacement before the end of the month. We look at some potential options that Steve Bruce’s team could explore below.
1. Leighton Baines
Baines has been at Everton for years, but has found his gametime limited so far this season. He is also capable of playing as a wing-back which would massively help Steve Bruce. Photo: Matthew Lewis

3. Kristian Pedersen
Pedersen is a versatile left-sided player, and a real attacking threat to boot - if Newcastle don't go in for him, someone else surely will soon. Photo: Marc Atkins
4. Danny Rose
An ex-Sunderland man, but hear us out... Rose is out of contract in the summer of 2021, and looks destined to leave Spurs soon. He brings a wealth of Premier League and Champions League experience. Photo: Richard Heathcote
