# Newcastle United: Eddie Howe wants Dean Henderson

**Eddie Howe reportedly now wants to sign Dean Henderson for [Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) in the summer.**

### The Lowdown: Henderson out of favour

The goalkeeper has largely been out of favour at [Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) this season with just three matches played, none in the Premier League ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/304008/Show/Dean-Henderson)).

He [failed](https://twitter.com/England/status/1508859675017625602) to make Gareth Southgate’s England squad for their friendly matches against Switzerland and Ivory Coast in March and will likely seek a move away from Old Trafford this summer, given that it is a World Cup year.

### The Latest: Howe interest in Henderson

As per [The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manutd-henderson-newcastle-transfer-degea-26968815), Newcastle have reportedly now ‘intensified’ their interest in signing Henderson, and sources from St James’ Park have revealed that Howe sees him as the ideal successor to Martin Dubravka.

The 25-year-old is currently valued at £20m and is ‘ready’ to move if he cannot secure the number one spot at Old Trafford for next season.

### The Verdict: Sign him

Henderson has already showed his credentials when he gets regular playing time in the top flight, as he kept no fewer than [13](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dean-henderson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/258919/plus/0?saison=&verein=350&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) clean sheets while on loan at Sheffield United a couple of seasons ago.

His former Blades team-mate Sander Berge even went as far as to call the [6 foot 2](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dean-henderson/profil/spieler/258919) colossus ‘[insane](https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/sander-berge-dean-henderson-praise-17877641)‘ and ‘[exceptional](https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/sander-berge-dean-henderson-praise-17877641)‘, a glowing testament to how well he did at Bramall Lane.

At only 25 years of age, he is still relatively young for a goalkeeper, so he could grow into one of the best in the league under Howe’s management at Newcastle.

Incidentally, Henderson also shares the same agent as [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/icm-stellar-sports/beraterfirma/berater/190) other Magpies players, which could help to push though a move to Tyneside.
