# Newcastle United: Charlie Bennett reveals Dean Henderson transfer news

**The Chronicle journalist Charlie Bennett has revealed what he has now been ‘told’ from [Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) in relation to Dean Henderson.**

### The Lowdown: One to watch

With the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) season now completed, transfer rumours are already heating up for the summer, none more so than at St James’ Park.

One player who has been strongly [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/man-utd-transfer-news-henderson-premier-league-4/) with a move to the northeast recently is [Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) goalkeeper Henderson, and an update has now been given on that situation.

### The Latest: Henderson deal ‘close’

Taking to Twitter, [Bennett](https://twitter.com/CharIieBennett/status/1528784407926022144) has revealed that Henderson is ‘keen’ on a move to Tyneside and would ‘prefer’ to sign permanently than on loan. The 25-year-old’s camp believe that a deal is now ‘close’ after meeting representatives of Newcastle in Northumberland last week.

Bennett tweeted: *“Understand Dean Henderson is keen on a Newcastle move and has made it known he prefers a permanent transfer to a loan deal.*

*“Also told player’s camp believe a deal is “close” after meeting club representatives in Northumberland last week.”*

### The Verdict: Get it done

Given Henderson’s desire to move to the Magpies, and a seemingly positive meeting with their representatives, one would suggest that the Toon shouldn’t have to do too much more to get this deal over the line.

However, given his reputation in the top flight after keeping [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 in the 2019/20 season, and having [played](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dean-henderson/nationalmannschaft/spieler/258919) for England at international level, Henderson is likely to be a man in demand this summer.

Therefore, the Newcastle board need to wrap up this deal as soon as possible in order to fend off any other potential suitors.
