Nick Pope’s move to Newcastle United would ‘make sense’ as the club look to bring in competition for Martin Dubravka. Burnley shot-stopper Pope is set to become the Magpies’ second summer signing.
Reports claim that Burnley has accepted a deal between £10m-£15m for Pope who has played for the Clarets since 2016. Talking about United’s move for a goalkeeper, Newcastle United Editor Aaron Stokes said while it wasn’t a ‘priority’, the deal would please Toon Fans.
Speaking on The Everything is Black and White Podcast, Stokes said: “Look, I don't think any fans would be concerned if we went into the season with Dubravka as number one, and maybe Darlow as number two. I know Darlow hasn't got a run in recently, but he did alright at the start of last season, and he sort of warmed to fans.
