Newcastle United outcast just wants to be given an opportunity.
Newcastle United flop Achraf Lazaar has told Tuttomercatoweb that he wants to be given a fair chance at the club.
Lazaar has failed to win over Rafa Benitez since signing for the club from Palermo in 2016.
He was loaned out to Genoa in the summer and has since returned to Newcastle after the Italian side cancelled the deal.
Now Lazaar is stuck trying to make the best of his situation at Newcastle.
He is hopeful he can change his situation for the better.
Lazaar said: “I’m training hard and I also do some training to be ready and fit.
“I’m honest: I signed for Newcastle and I expect to be taken into consideration.
“But football is like that, something wrong can happen. But you must continue to do your job by respecting the choices. Do not give up.
“Then in January if a call comes in I have to be ready.”
Whether Newcastle fans want to see Lazaar in the first team or not, his attitude has to be admired.
He has to try and get back to the top of his game if he is to get a move away from the club in January, even if Rafa Benitez won’t budge and bring him into the Newcastle team.
