Allowed to leave: Newcastle must blow Roma out of water to sign Man City ace
Dummett – Premier League quality?
It is fair to say that Wales international Dummett was one of the weaker players in Benitez’s starting eleven last season.
The left-back was often targeted by Championship opposition, with a lack of pace and an unwillingness to get forward highlighted in his performances.
Bringing Kolarov to the north east would see the Toon dramatically improve their options on the left side of defence, with the City ace offering more pace, attacking nous and experience than Dummett.
