adminNewcastle have been active in the summer transfer window so far, and they’ve now opened talks to secure another signing.
The Magpies were one of the first sides to complete a new signing in the summer transfer window, with Ewen Jaouen joining the club from Stade de Reims.
The 20-year-old has arrived at St. James’ Park to provide competition in the goalkeeping department, with Aaron Ramsdale returning to Southampton following his loan spell.
After such a disappointing 2025/26 season, Eddie Howe needs to bring in reinforcements during the summer transfer window.
Perhaps signing an inexperienced goalkeeper wasn’t a major priority, but more of a market opportunity.
Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for former Newcastle United goalkeeper Karl Darlow.
Darlow joined Newcastle from Nottingham Forest in 2014 and, after spending his first season back on loan at the City Ground, went on to make 100 appearances over eight years at St James’ Park. He produced several strong performances during his time at the club but was unable to secure a regular first-choice role.
He later spent the second half of the 2022–23 season on loan at Hull City before joining Leeds United on a permanent deal the following summer.
The Wales international has mostly been a backup option at Elland Road, but in recent months he has stepped up as first-choice following errors from Lucas Perri.
After Leeds’ defeat to Newcastle on January 7, Darlow started all remaining Premier League matches as the club battled to avoid relegation.
Darlow is out of contract on June 30, and while Leeds are hoping to extend his stay, other clubs are showing interest. He has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, with Manchester United now reportedly joining the race.
According to The Athletic, United are looking for an experienced backup goalkeeper, with Darlow and Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Sam Johnstone among their options.
