West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Bruce wants to sign Karl Darlow from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.
Premier League club Newcastle could let Darlow leave on loan this summer, and Championship outfit West Brom reportedly want to sign the goalkeeper.
Current West Brom manager Bruce worked with the 31-year-old when he was the Newcastle boss.
Leaving Newcastle for Steve Bruce’s West Brom sensible for Karl Darlow
In our opinion, leaving Newcastle United to work with Steve Bruce at West Bromwich Albion would be sensible for goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
The 31-year-old is essentially a squad player at Newcastle at the moment.
The former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper has played only eight games in the Premier League this season.
Martin Dubravka is the first-choice goalkeeper at Newcastle at the moment, and head coach Eddie Howe is suddenly not going to make Darlow his first choice.
Bruce knows Darlow well, and West Brom are an ambitious club who will be looking to win promotion to the Premier League.
In our opinion, Darlow, who earns £30,000 per week as salary (SalarySport) at Newcastle, should seriously consider a move to the Baggies.
