Jamaal Lascelles has departed Newcastle United, concluding a nearly 12-year association with the club. The defender has now joined Leicester City, signing a contract that runs until the conclusion of the current season. Throughout his extensive period at St James' Park, Lascelles made 253 appearances and frequently wore the captain's armband for the Premier League side.
His participation on the field significantly decreased following a severe knee injury in March 2025. This injury unfortunately ruled him out for the entirety of the last season. Lascelles' final game for Newcastle United was a substitute appearance in a 2-1 defeat against Arsenal in September 2025.
