It’s set to be an incredibly hectic end to the transfer window for Amanda Staveley and co and the Newcastle United fans. The rumours will pick up fast and out of nowhere as per the nature of the clock ticking down on clubs to finalise deals.

Craig Hope of The Daily Mail has offered an update to a target that Newcastle United have a ‘strong chance’ of signing on loan – that’s Dean Henderson of Manchester United. The goalkeeper is currently the understudy to David De Gea, but could be set to ditch the Red Devils for the Magpies before the window draws to a close.

Do NUFC need to replace Dubravka?

Yes

Yes

No

No

When Hope shared the news on Twitter, the Newcastle fans flocked to the comments to give their approval on the move.

What the Newcastle fans said about Dean Henderson

“This would be class, Dubs can actually fully recover from his injury because it seems he never trains in build up to games then just plays through pain.” @BallBrucey

“Henderson will be desperate to get game time before the World Cup, he’ll get none at Man U. Dubravka hasn’t looked right since he had a nightmare in the World Cup, as much as I like Dubs, Henderson walks into our team. #NUFC.” @KearneyMicky

“This is great news. Dubravka has cost us points this season.” @simgiles

“Brilliant signing if it comes off, hopefully with option to buy.” @ToonBlackWhite

“Big fan of this! He would be a great signing.” @ben_jordan_

“Brilliant news, Craig. Hope it comes off.” @CraigMorrison84

The move gives Eddie Howe options between the sticks, having two top ‘keepers to pick from with Dean Henderson and Martin Dubravka. It also provides great cover for potential injuries, suspensions and positive virus cases.

It’s a deal that makes sense all round. It enhances the Newcastle squad and gives Howe more options, but also gives Henderson the chance to get minutes under his belt with a World Cup on the horizon.
