Newcastle United are in advanced talks with former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius following an injury to backup goalkeeper Karl Darlow. The Magpies have been forced to make the emergency signing just days after the summer transfer window shut.
Karius is on Tyneside to undergo a medical and will pen a short-team deal with Newcastle. Darlow's ankle injury may keep him out of action until early 2023, Chronicle Live understands.
Nick Pope and Mark Gillespie are the only other two senior goalkeepers at the club, while Martin Dubravka was recently loaned to Manchester United. The Slovakian can't be recalled until January.
