'I enjoy playing in the Premier League' - Schar happy with first season at Newcastle

The centre-back has impressed this term and was delighted with how Rafa Benitez's side finished off their campaign

Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar has revealed he is pleased by his performances in his first Premier League season, and that he is enjoying playing in English football.

The Switzerland international struggled to adjust to the English top flight in his first few games, but over the course of the season, he has impressed pundits and fans alike.

Schar, who moved to St James’ Park last summer in a £3.6 million ($4.5m) from Deportivo La Coruna, has helped to keep 10 clean sheets in the league.
