2 targets Newcastle fans should get excited about in January

Alan Judge

Anyone who has watched Sky Bet Championship football in the last few seasons will know what a talented player Alan Judge is.

The Brentford midfielder has been hugely influential in helping consolidate the Bees’ status in the Championship, and netted 14 times last season and laid on 11 assists to help them to a ninth-place finish.

The Republic of Ireland international saw his season cut short last time out after sustaining a double-leg fracture in April, and he has yet to feature this campaign as a result.

Nevertheless, Judge is one of the best midfielders in the Championship, and Newcastle attempted to secure a deal in the summer, but Judge’s injury put pay to that.

It’s likely however that the league leaders will go back in for the 27-year-old in January.
