Middlesbrough remain in talks with Newcastle United over a move for goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
Boro have also considered West Ham's Darren Randolph as they push to get a new No 1 before the season starts next month.
The Republic of Ireland international spent a period of last season as first choice under Slaven Bilic.
But his first-team chances will be severely limited next season after the arrival of Joe Hart on loan from Manchester City.
Darlow, 26, joined Newcastle from Nottingham Forest in August 2014, making his debut for the club a year later in the Capital One Cup.
