Newcastle United are understood to be chasing wantaway Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope. Despite Martin Dubravka having an omnipotent grip on the number one jersey since arriving in 2018, the Magpies continue to be linked with a new shot-stopper.
Manchester Evening News reported last month that Newcastle were “closing in” on a move for Dean Henderson. However, a move for the 25-year-old did not materialise and Nottingham Forest are in pole position for his signature.
ChronicleLive understands Burnley are demanding £40million for Pope, who is determined to secure a move back to the Premier League following relegation. New Clarets boss Vincent Kompany is placed in a difficult position as the England international has just one year left on his contract.
