# Newcastle United: Magpies considering Dean Henderson

**[Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) are reportedly now considering signing Dean Henderson in the summer.**

### The Lowdown: Lack of game time

Henderson has largely been out of favour at [Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) this season with just three games played in total over all competitions, and none in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/304008/Show/Dean-Henderson)).

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

### The Latest: Newcastle interest

Writing in his latest piece for [Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-dean-henderson-newcastle-23978004), reliable journalist Samuel Luckhurst has revealed that the St. James’ Park faithful are ‘interested’ in signing Henderson this summer, and are ‘considering’ a £40m deal for him.

He would be ‘open’ to moving to the North East, but ‘[sources](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-dean-henderson-newcastle-23978004)‘ believe that it is likelier that he would only move on loan, as his contract at the Red Devils does not expire until 2025.

### The Verdict: Worth a punt

Even though he has not played much this term, Henderson could well be worth a punt, especially on an initial loan deal, meaning that the Tyneside outfit would not have to fork out £40m straight away.

Dubbed an ‘[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)‘ player by former teammate at Sheffield United Sander Berge, the six-foot-two colossus has already shown his credentials in the top flight, as he kept [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 the Blades just a couple of seasons ago.

Nonetheless, he is still relatively young for a ‘keeper at 25 years of age, and so has the potential to become one of the best in the division under Eddie Howe’s management.
