Dean Henderson leaving Manchester United this summer is looking increasingly possible and Newcastle United have been told to step up their interest.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Nottingham Forest are in talks about signing the Newcastle-linked goalkeeper this summer.
The Magpies have been heavily linked in recent weeks.
And earlier in June, 90 min reported – as covered by HITC Sport – that the Manchester United stopper wanted a transfer to St James’s Park.
Here’s how former Newcastle left-back Jose Enrique reacted on Twitter to the prospect of Forest getting him.
Dean Henderson leaving Manchester United?
Well, yes an exit from Old Trafford is certainly plausible.
The 25-year-old didn’t kick a ball for Manchester United in the Premier League last season and was an unused substitute on 30 occasions.
Newcastle have a very able goalkeeper in the form of Martin Dubravka but is he good enough for the heights Saudi Public Investment Fund want to scale over the coming years? Potentially not.
Henderson, who earns £120,000 per week at the Theatre of Dreams, only has 49 Premier League appearances under his belt, however.
He isn’t proven to be a top-drawer goalkeeper in England’s top flight and therefore you could understand if Newcastle and Eddie Howe preferred other targets.
