Karl Darlow is expected to leave Newcastle United this month after fellow goalkeeper Loris Karius signed a contract extension on Tyneside. The 32-year-old has spent nine years at St James' Park but is facing a struggle to get back into the first-team fold under Eddie Howe.
Darlow has had to play second fiddle to the impressive Nick Pope this term and Martin Dubravka's premature return from Manchester United saw him demoted from recent matchday squads. Karius' renewal is another indicator Darlow has dropped down the pecking order.
Thankfully for the former Nottingham Forest stopper there are plenty of Championship suitors chasing his signature. Huddersfield Town are at the front of the queue as they search for a new stopper after it was discovered first choice goalkeeper Lee Nicholls will require surgery on the shoulder injury.
