Eddie Howe has insisted he does not want to part with Slovakia goalkeeper Martin Dubravka - despite accepting he is no longer number one at St James' Park.
Dubravka was initially loaned to Manchester United after the signing of Nick Pope, but he struggled for game-time at Old Trafford and found himself recalled to Newcastle in January. Dubravka will be between the posts for the final day of the season against Chelsea but his future will be unclear after that.
Dubravka's agents tried in vain to get him a permanent move last summer after he lost his place to Pope. But Howe is positive about his presence at St James'.
