# Newcastle: Magpies ‘continue talks’ for Dean Henderson

**[Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) have continued talks with [Manchester United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/manchester-united-news/) over signing Dean Henderson, as per [90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/newcastle-continue-talks-with-man-utd-over-dean-henderson) journalist Graeme Bailey.**

### **The Lowdown: Goalkeeper pursuit**

According to a report by the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10635879/Newcastle-draw-list-goalkeeper-targets-including-Kepa-Arrizabalaga-Dean-Henderson.html) from 21 March, the Magpies had drawn up a list of potential goalkeeper targets ahead of the summer transfer window, with Eddie Howe keen to increase competition for first-choice Martin Dubravka.

Old Trafford shot-stopper Henderson was [linked](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10635879/Newcastle-draw-list-goalkeeper-targets-including-Kepa-Arrizabalaga-Dean-Henderson.htmlhttps://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-transfer-rumours-four-23467607) with a move to St James’ Park in January, with the 25-year-old having failed to dislodge David de Gea as the Red Devils’ first-choice. However, negotiations were swiftly concluded when the Manchester club raised the possibility of Dubravka [going in the opposite direction](https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/20009741.newcastle-keen-manchester-united-goalkeeper-dean-henderson/).

### **The Latest: Henderson talks continue**

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey/status/1533028068821975041), Bailey has shared the latest news on the Magpies’ pursuit of Henderson, claiming: “Newcastle continue talks with Man Utd over Dean Henderson.”

In the [corresponding 90min article](https://www.90min.com/posts/newcastle-continue-talks-with-man-utd-over-dean-henderson), he reported that the Tyneside club are long-term admirers of the former Sheffield United loanee, with the goalkeeper having made it clear that he wants to play regular first-team football.

It is [understood](https://www.90min.com/posts/newcastle-continue-talks-with-man-utd-over-dean-henderson) that negotiations have yet to determine whether an agreement will involve a permanent transfer or a loan move.

### **The Verdict: Good move for Henderson**

With Henderson having [failed to play a single minute](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dean-henderson/leistungsdaten/spieler/258919) of [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) football across the entire 2021/22 campaign, the 25-year-old will need to move elsewhere if he is to establish himself as a potential England number one.

Newcastle could be the perfect destination to achieve that mission, given the club’s huge ambition and upwards trajectory.

From Howe’s perspective, the Magpies will be getting an up-and-coming young prospect, who former Blades teammate Sander Berge labelled [“exceptional”](https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/sander-berge-dean-henderson-praise-17877641).

However, with Henderson’s contract set to run [until 2025](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dean-henderson/profil/spieler/258919), Newcastle may be quoted a substantial fee by Erik ten Hag’s side; and with the player’s current [£120,000 weekly wage](https://salarysport.com/football/player/dean-henderson/) topping Dubravka’s reported [£38,000 per week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/newcastle-united-fc/payroll/), this won’t be a cheap deal for PIF to get over the line.
