00:00Newcastle United defender Lloyd Kelly has departed the magpies for Italian side Juventus

00:07on loan until the end of the season, with Juve having an obligation to buy the English

00:13defender for a fee of around £20m come the summer.

00:18Kelly had only joined Newcastle in summer of 2024 on a free transfer from AFC Bournemouth

00:24of the Premier League following the expiration of his contract at the South Coast club.

00:29When asked about the decision to let Kelly go, Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe made clear

00:34that the decision was not ultimately down to him, given that it leaves his defensive

00:38cover in the Newcastle squad quite short. However, from a business perspective, the

00:43£20m on offer was just too good for Newcastle's board to turn down.

00:48The magpies will now go into their Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Arsenal

00:52without Kelly, but safe in the knowledge that a draw would be enough for them to reach Wembley.
