# Newcastle United: Magpies ‘closing in’ on Dean Henderson

**[Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) are reportedly now ‘closing in’ on signing Dean Henderson this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Interest there

Writing for [Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-dean-henderson-newcastle-23978004), reliable journalist Samuel Luckhurst has recently reported that the Magpies are ‘interested’ in signing Henderson in the summer, and are ‘considering’ a £40m move for him.

He would be ‘open’ to moving to St. James’ Park, 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 leave on loan.

### The Latest: Luckhurst update

Taking to Twitter, [Luckhurst](https://twitter.com/samuelluckhurst/status/1527259439409111041?s=21&t=eIhMgZMecr5jlA5Og-O2dg) has now given an update on the situation, revealing that Henderson is now ‘closing in’ on a move to the North East, as he ‘travelled’ to Tyneside for ‘talks’:

*“Dean Henderson closing in on a move to Newcastle. Understand he travelled to Newcastle for talks yesterday.”*

Expanding in his latest piece for [Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-united-transfer-henderson-newcastle-24003780), Luckhurst added that those talks have been over a season-long loan, although a permanent deal has ‘not been ruled out’.

### The Verdict: Sign

Henderson has not been given enough opportunities at Old Trafford this season, having played just three times in total over all competitions, and no games in the Premier League ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/304008/Show/Dean-Henderson)).

He has shown his credentials once given a run of matches in the top flight, having 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 Sheffield United just a couple of seasons ago.

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)‘ goalkeeper by former Blades teammate Sander Berge, Henderson will no doubt be eager to show that he can perform again, especially in a World Cup year.

Thus, the Toon should be looking to give him that opportunity by signing him this summer.
