After signing his extension, Krafth said: "I'm delighted to extend my time at Newcastle United for another year. It's an exciting time to be part of this club.

"We have a lot to play for throughout the rest of this season, and I'm looking forward playing my part in helping the team finish the season in a positive way.

"It feels like home here for both me and my family, having been here for such a long time. We all enjoy everything about being part of this club, and I love playing for Newcastle United."

Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe said: "I'm delighted we have extended Emil's contract. He is an incredible professional in the way he trains, plays and conducts himself.

"He offers us versatility in defensive positions, which is vital to have, along with vast experience and a steadying influence. He will continue to be an important part of our squad on and off the pitch."

Paul Mitchell, the club's sporting director, said: "Emil can play across different defensive positions and he gives the first team squad important balance.

"He is ultra-professional, and given his experience both at club and international level, it made it a simple decision for the club to extend his contract.

"These decisions are part of a collaborative process internally, and we'll continue to work closely to optimise our chances of success in the short, medium and long term."
