Newcastle United goalkeeper is set to be swapping Tyneside for the seaside with reports of a loan move to Brighton in the final hours of the transfer window.
Journalist Mike Verweij announced the deal between the two clubs on Twitter.

The goalkeeper has also had interest from Championship side Nottingham Forest, but, has been handed a chance to stay in the Premier League.
The Dutch international spent the second half of last season on loan at AZ Alkmaar in an attempt to prove his fitness after he ruptured his cruciate ligament in October 2015.
Krul was hoping to be part of Rafa Benitez’s plans this season after spending last season out on loan, but that now looks unlikely.
There was also interest from the Portuguese football giants Benfica earlier in the transfer window.
