Newcastle have a sizeable amount of goalkeepers in their current squad, but want a new stopper capable standing out in the Premier League.

And Benitez is said to be keen to bring Gulacsi to St. James’ Park.

Benitez worked with Gulacsi during his younger years at Liverpool, and remains a fan of the Leipzig custodian.

Gulacsi was a key player for Leipzig last term, as they impressed in the Bundesliga.

The Hungarian stopper was very reliable, and Newcastle feel he would be an upgrade on the likes of Karl Darlow and Tim Krul.

If Gulacsi was to join Newcastle in the near future, he could become their fifth signing of the summer transfer window so far.
