Liverpool flop Loris Karius is reportedly on the verge of signing for Newcastle United to help solve their injury crisis.
The German goalkeeper hasn't been seen in the Premier League since May 2018, the same month as his infamous Champions League final performance, where he made two howlers against Real Madrid. But after being released by the Reds this summer, Karius is now set to join Newcastle on a free transfer.
Having run down his contract on Merseyside last season, Sky Sports claim that the former Mainz stopper, now 29, is already in the north-east city undergoing a medical. The Magpies have moved with haste to sign Karius after second-choice goalkeeper Karl Darlow picked up an ankle injury in training on Wednesday, leaving former Carlisle United, Walsall and Motherwell stopper Mark Gillespie as Nick Pope 's only available senior understudy.
