Newcastle United reportedly draw up a shortlist of replacements for goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, including Kepa Arrizabalaga and Dean Henderson.

Newcastle United have reportedly identified Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga and Manchester United's Dean Henderson as possible goalkeeping targets.

After adding to their ranks in January, following the takeover of the club by the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the Magpies are now said to be keen to add quality between the sticks in the summer.

According to the Daily Mail, their list of targets to replace Martin Dubravka includes Kepa and Henderson, both of whom have struggled for regular game time this season.

While Kepa did feature for a spell for the Blues after the turn of the year during Edouard Mendy's stint with Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations, he has only managed to make 15 appearances in all competitions this term after his £72m move at the beginning of the 2018-19 season.

Henderson, meanwhile, has turned out just three times for the Red Devils this campaign, acting as a back-up for David de Gea after previously battling with the Spaniard for the gloves last season, in which he made 13 league appearances.

The Magpies have enjoyed an upturn in form in recent months under Eddie Howe, moving nine points clear of the relegation zone after the January signings of defenders Matt Target and Dan Burn, midfielder Bruno Guimaraes and striker Chris Wood.
