Newcastle United are now eager as a goalkeeper who is so good with his feet, he has been described as “Guardiola style”, according to a new report.
Although Newcastle United raises the Carabao Cup – their first major trophy in 64 years – earlier this month, Nick Pope was not included in the very first England team of Thomas Tuchel, the German manager who chose Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale, Dean Henderson and James Trafford.
Former Newcastle defender John Anderson believes that he was not lucky to be left out: “Pickford is obviously the number one in England and rightly so, but I would say that Nick Pope is certainly better than the others.”
Trafford, on the other hand, was presented as a potential summer signature for the Magpies after what was a record season of Burnley in the championship. The 22 -year -old has kept a record of 27 clean sheets in 38 games so far, conceding only 11 goals – an amazing achievement that has placed the side of Scott Parker in the automatic promotion race.

On the potential of the signature of Newcastle Trafford in summer, Anderson said: “He is standing and has had an exceptional season with Burnley. He is young and can only improve.”
Another goalkeeper who would be on Newcastle radar before the summer transfer window is royal Antwerp Shot-Stopper Senne Lammens. According to a new report by The Sun, the Magpies are one of the many clubs alongside West Ham United, Manchester City and Manchester United who obtained the 22 -year -old on their radar.
The newspaper reports that Lammens is classified at around 30 million pounds sterling and describes him as a “Guardiola” style goalkeeper because of his capacities with his feet – something that is music to the ears of Newcastle fans since the well documented struggles of Pope in this department.
Described by the football scout Nikita Korneev as “one of the most exciting young guards in Europe”, Lammens has already cemented as a goalkeeper of the first choice of Antwerp, impressive in the Champions League of this season before being eliminated.
A remedy man for the U21 of Belgium, he was also recently called to the Belgian national team for the very first time and could still become the long -term successor of Thibaut Courtois for his nation.
Recently, Lammens opened up to be linked to a move to Old TraffordBy saying: “The first time I heard it, I said to myself:” WOW, a team from the world that follows you. It’s special. “”
“These are just rumors,” he said. “These best clubs have so many scouts and follow so many players. So that means nothing.
