Newcastle United will make a move for Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson in the January transfer window, according to Eurosport.
What’s the story?
Eurosport are reporting this morning that Newcastle are interested in signing Henderson from Premier League rivals Manchester United.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper is reportedly available on loan in the January transfer window.
Intermediary agents have circulated the news that Manchester United are willing to send the England international out on loan in January.
Newcastle will now reportedly make an enquiry for the Englishman.
Would Dean Henderson make Newcastle better?
A move for Henderson in January would not seem of much use now for Newcastle.
After all, Newcastle do have good goalkeepers.
Karl Darlow, Martin Dubravka, Freddie Woodman and Mark Gillespie are the goalkeepers at Newcastle.
Now, when Dubravka is fit and available, he is the first-choice goalkeeper at St. James’ Park.
Or at least he was under then manager Steve Bruce.
However, Dubravka is 32 now.
Henderson is 24 and is a very promising goalkeeper.
New Newcastle manager Eddie Howe could well decide that Henderson is a better option going forward.
The Sun reported over the weekend that Manchester United are willing to send Henderson out on an 18-month loan deal in January.
