Newcastle considering early summer bid for "wonderful" £5k-a-week player

Newcastle United could make an early bid for a "wonderful" player in the summer transfer window, as they look to take advantage of his current club's financial issues. The Magpies' season ended more positively than many expected in the end, with Eddie Howe getting players fit again and guiding his side to a seventh-place finish in the Premier League. A new goalkeeper looks to be the order of the day at St James' Park, suggesting that Nick Pope is no longer seen as the perfect option between the sticks, and Arsenal stopper Aaron Ramsdale looks like a primary target there.
