Newcastle United aren’t short of goalkeepers with Martin Dubravka, Freddie Woodman, Karl Darlow and Mark Gillespie at their disposal, but the Daily Mail say they’re after another shot-stopper in Dean Henderson.
The 24-year-old has an uncertain future at Manchester United as he’s behind David De Gea in the pecking order and will leave Old Trafford if he continues to struggle for playing time.
Fans on social media aren’t too keen on Henderson coming to St James’ Park, however, as they believe Newcastle don’t need another goalkeeper while four are still on the books.
Henderson rose through the youth ranks to the fringes of United’s first-team in 2020/21 and has gone on to make 27 appearances in all competitions, conceding 23 goals with 13 clean sheets.
He’s featured in only one game this season, however, so he’s likely to consider his options in January as his international prospects are drying up.
Newcastle are the richest club in Europe following their takeover by Public Investment Fund (PIF), PCP Capital Partners and RB Sports & Media, but they have a more fervent need to strengthen other areas.
Fans don’t believe they need Henderson unless one or two goalkeepers are offloaded, so it remains to be seen if the Daily Mail’s story has much truth to it.
