Ian Wright has praised Newcastle United right-back Emil Krafth on The Kelly & Wrighty Show.
The Arsenal legend believes that Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe has improved and developed Krafth, who cost the Magpies £5 million in transfer fees when they signed him from Amiens in the summer of 2019 (Sky Sports).
Wright said on The Kelly & Wrighty Show: “I think Krafth has kicked on and done very well.”
Emil Krafth an important player for Newcastle United
In our opinion, Krafth has been superb for Newcastle under Howe and is now one of most important players in the team.
The Newcastle no. 17 has made 15 starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League so far this season.
The defender has given one assist in those games.
Krafth made 14 starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Magpies last season, scoring one goal in the process.
Newcastle are now safe from relegation to the Championship at the end of the season.
And, in our view, Krafth should be praised for his contribution.
Newcastle will take on Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend.
And, in our view, we should not be surprised if the Magpies do manage to take a point from the encounter, although Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will head into the match as favourites.
