Newcastle goalkeeper desperate to perform before his loan ends

Martin Dubravka wants to end his Newcastle United loan on a high to make sure they sign him in the summer, reports the Chronicle Live.

The Slovak joined Newcastle on the last day of the January transfer window and has impressed during his spell on Tyneside.

His debut saw him keep a clean sheet against Manchester United and saw the 29-year-old receive lots of praise for his pivotal role in securing the win.

Newcastle have an option to buy clause for £4 million from Sparta Prague. It looks likely they will take that option up as Dubravka has proven to be very good value for money. However, the goalkeeper doesn’t want to let standards slip in the final three games:

We must train well because, even though people are saying that we are safe, especially for me I am not playing like that. I came here for half-a-year and I have to show myself until the end. My team-mates also want to show themselves.

The form at Newcastle has picked up since Dubravka joined the club. They’ve gained 16 points in the nine games he has played and that has propelled them to 10th, with safety guaranteed.

matchday.
