Matt Targett is the subject of growing interest from a number of Premier League clubs, including Leeds United, and is expected to leave Newcastle United upon the expiry of his contract this summer. Leeds, who have previously monitored Targett, remain interested as they evaluate defensive reinforcements ahead of the new season. The defender is expected to move on from St James’ Park, generating interest from top-flight clubs wanting to sign him on a free transfer. According to TEAMtalk, several Premier League sides are now monitoring the situation closely.

Matt Targett has been rumored to be considering a transfer to Leeds United. Discussions have taken place between Newcastle and Leeds, although Leeds is delaying a decision pending the potential exit of their current left-back, Junior Firpo, who is attracting interest from Real Sociedad. Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie mentioned that Southampton and Watford are also interested in Targett, and Leicester City had expressed interest a couple of weeks prior. Targett, aged 29, has found it challenging to secure regular playing time at Newcastle and might be tempted by the prospect of joining Leeds for more frequent appearances. With Leeds aiming for promotion to the Premier League, acquiring Targett could strengthen their defensive line, particularly if Firpo departs.
