Shay Given's classy message to Nick Pope after goalkeeper joins Newcastle

Former Newcastle United shot-stopper Shay Given has sent new Magpies signing Nick Pope a classy message after the latter completed his move to St James' Park.

Pope has signed a four-year deal with Newcastle, arriving from Burnley for a fee of around £12m. While Newcastle already have a good starting option in Martin Dubravka, Pope will add extra competition.

The England international will now compete with Dubravka as the two battle it out for the starting Newcastle number one jersey ahead of the Magpies season opener against Nottingham Forest.
