Shay Given has suggested Newcastle should move for David De Gea with Nick Pope out injured.
Pope has been Eddie Howe's No 1 at St James' Park since arriving in a £10m deal from Burnley in June 2022.
The England international played in all but one of the club's Premier League games last season, but is now expected to spend an extended spell on the sidelines after suffering a dislocated shoulder against Manchester United earlier this month.
Since Pope's injury, backup stopper Martin Dubravka has stepped in between the sticks with former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius providing cover on the bench.
