Newcastle United’s new owners could reportedly cash in on Jamal Lewis with Turkish leaders Trabzonspor keen – and Toon fans have reacted.

Lewis, 23, has managed just two outings for Newcastle in all competitions this season – dropping down the pecking order behind Matt Ritchie.

The Northern Ireland international was brought to the club by Steve Bruce in 2020 from Norwich, for a fee believed to be around £15million.

Having played just 26 times in all competitions in his first season, his game time has reduced even further. January might not come soon enough.

But a surprise move to Turkey could be on the cards. Fotospor say league leaders Trabzonspor want £38k-a-week (Spotrac) Lewis.

The report from Turkey does not determine whether Trabzonspor would pursue a permanent deal – or if the Toon will only allow a loan.

What are Newcastle fans saying as Trabzonspor eye Lewis?

Newcastle do need to allow Lewis go. Unfortunately, it just has not happened for Lewis on Tyneside – though he has not got much of a chance.

A move to Trabzonspor would see Lewis team up with household names including ex-Arsenal winger Gervinho – and midfielder Marek Hamsik.

Lewis would join a side where he would be in with a chance of winning the SuperLig. The title would see them earn Champions League football.

Newcastle fans have reacted on Twitter to reports that the Toon could sell Lewis to Trabzonspor – with the new owners seemingly open to a move.
