When Nick Pope went down injured for Newcastle United in their 1-0 win over lonely Manchester United, it was a stain on an otherwise perfect weekend. Pope suffered a shoulder injury and according to the Telegraph he may be out for up to six months, officially ending his season.
Newcastle is reported to not be willing to wait around and have begun the search for a replacement for Pope for the time being. At the moment said replacement would have to come in the winter transfer market.
Martin Dubravka is said to be the Newcastle goalkeeper to take the team into the new year but now according to The Sun, the Magpies have their sights set on David De Gea.
Situation of De Gea
David De Gea is currently a free agent, his contract ended with Manchester United in the summer, and he did not sign with any club as he calmly views his options. De Gea was one of the Premier League’s highest paid players during his time at Manchester United, so the former Spanish international is in no rush.
