Newcastle United have signed former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius on a short-term deal. The German stopper, 29, has been without a club since the summer but has been picked up by the Magpies after an injury to Karl Darlow.
The goalkeeper will be added to the Howe's 25-man Premier League squad until January, with the Magpies having an option to extend the deal to the summer.
Darlow has been Newcastle's backup stopper so far this term, with Nick Pope taking the No 1 jersey upon his arrival from Burnley. However, Chronicle Live understands the 31-year-old is facing a spell on the sidelines after an ankle injury in training this week.
