Newcastle United defender Emil Krafth will officially leave the club on June 30.
Emil Krafth has moved out of his Newcastle home ahead of his summer exit from the football club.
Earlier this month, Newcastle United confirmed that Krafth would be leaving the club after seven years when his contract expires next month.
The Swedish defender made over 100 appearances for the club but hasn’t featured in a matchday squad since November due to a knee injury that ultimately ended his season, and Newcastle playing career early.
Emil Krafth moves out
Last month, The Shields Gazette revealed Krafth’s six-bedroom home in Gosforth had been put up for sale. It has a guide price of £1.75million and is being sold by the property management company that owns the home rather than the player himself.
The property listing was ultimately a precursor to Krafth’s upcoming departure from the club.
Last Friday, images were shared by Newcastle supporter Darren Warneford, with Krafth outside his home.
It was accompanied by the caption: “Legend and all round great guy Emil Kraft moving out today and he has done me a huge one - he has only gone and got me this signed [shirt], getting this framed!”

Following confirmation of his departure, Krafth said: "I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to represent this incredible football club for the past seven years.
“It's been a huge part of my life, I've made some amazing memories here and Newcastle is somewhere I've been really proud to call home.
"I've had up and down moments on a personal level and some difficult times with injury, but I've always felt such brilliant support from the fans, my team-mates, the coaching staff and everybody connected to the club. This is something I will remember forever and want to say a massive thank you for.
"It's been a privilege to wear the shirt and especially to play a part in a team that has managed to make history in the last few years. I believe the future is really bright for this club and I'll be following the journey closely and continuing to support from a distance.”
