Martin Dubravka has made a strong impact since he moved to St James’ Park in the January transfer window from Sparta Prague on loan.
However, there is a no guarantee that he will continue his stay beyond the summer as the 29-year-old candidly confessed that his future at Newcastle will depend on whether the Magpies survive in the Premier League.
Needless to say, goalkeeping is one area where Rafa Benitez would like to bolster if he fails to sign Dubravka permanently.
Last month, the Magpies were linked with a move for Burnley’s keeper Nick Pope.
