Newcastle considers David de Gea as a replacement for injured keeper Nick Pope

Newcastle United is considering signing Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea as a replacement for injured Nick Pope, who is expected to be sidelined for five months with a dislocated shoulder. Martin Dubravka is currently the Toon No. 2, and Arsenal has warned Newcastle against pursuing Aaron Ramsdale, despite his high price tag of £40 million.

Newcastle Considers David De Gea As A Replacement For Injured Keeper Nick Pope

Newcastle United is reportedly exploring the option of signing David de Gea as a replacement for the injured Nick Pope, who is expected to be sidelined for five months with a dislocated shoulder. De Gea, a free agent since leaving Manchester United in the summer, is being considered to fill the void left by Pope’s absence.

The 33-year-old Spanish goalkeeper’s wealth of experience could be valuable for Newcastle. However, Martin Dubravka, the current Toon No. 2, will have an opportunity to stake his claim before a decision is made on recruiting a replacement. Meanwhile, Arsenal has warned Newcastle against pursuing a January move for Aaron Ramsdale, who has fallen out of favor at the Gunners.

Despite being a potential option for Newcastle, Ramsdale’s high price tag, exceeding £40 million, could pose a financial challenge for the Magpies. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed his intention to keep Ramsdale, emphasizing the importance of having two quality goalkeepers in the squad.

Here is the highlight video of David de Gea’s best saves in the 2022-23 season.
