Newcastle United should try and sign the Everton goalkeeper this summer.
According to The Daily Mail, Everton boss Ronald Koeman is willing to sell goalkeeper Joel Robles.
The 27-year-old is, according to Marca, on the radar of at least three Spanish clubs, but Newcastle United should throw their hat in the ring.
Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez is in the market for a goalkeeper, with Karl Darlow and Tim Krul strongly linked with moves away, while Freddie Woodman has joined Bolton on loan.
The Chronicle reported last week that the Spanish manager was set to be offered West Ham’s Darren Randolph, but Robles would be a better move.
The Everton stopper is three years younger than his Irish counterpart and he proved last season that he is a very capable goalkeeper.
Robles finished the season as the Toffees’ number one, having lost out to Maarten Stekelenburg at one point, but he still managed 20 Premier League appearances.
And with Robles and Benitez both being Spanish, the Newcastle boss could draw on his man-management skills to get the very best out of the ex-Atletico Madrid man.
He is under contract with the Goodison Park club until 2018, meaning Benitez would not have to break the bank to bring him to St James’s Park.
There is plenty of potential there and, at a minimal cost, he is certainly worth a punt for the Newcastle manager.
