Newcastle United are in talks with Manchester United over a loan move for goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
Sources say there is a strong chance of a deal being struck before Monday’s transfer deadline.
Henderson, 24, wants to leave Old Trafford having found himself deputy to David de Gea this season.
The Magpies have a long-standing interest in the England stopper and are now pushing ahead with a move.
Newcastle No.1 Martin Dubravka has suffered with injury in recent seasons and did not play during their friendly match in Saudi Arabia on Friday evening.
