Birmingham City goalkeeper Tomasz Kuzsczak has spoken about a possible loan move to Newcastle United in the January transfer window, which the Blues rejected, as per Goal.
The former Manchester United goalkeeper has been told this summer by Garry Monk that he can leave the Second City and look elsewhere, with the new boss preferring David Stockdale to the Pole.
The Magpies did end up signing Martin Dubravka, who has impressed and already signed a permanent deal at St James’ Park. But it could’ve been different in Kuszczak had been moved to the North East for the latter half of the season.
The 36-year-old goalkeeper said in a recent interview (via Goal):
In the winter transfer window, I had a loan offer from Newcastle, and Derby also approached me. However, Birmingham said that I should stay at the club.
My contract is still valid for a year, but the situation has changed a little, because after the season I received a green light to be transferred.
I am waiting for a signal from my representatives. Other managers already know that a transfer option has appeared.
So Kuczszak may have got a move to Newcastle, which would’ve been his first slice of Premier League action since 2012. But Dubravka came in instead and the Toon Army aren’t so displeased with his performances so far.
