Newcastle are preparing a £20million bid for Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez ahead of the summer transfer window.
Eddie Howe has been impressed by Sanchez’s performances and is now planning a move for the 24-year-old, as reported by The Sun.
Martin Dubravka has been Newcastle’s regular goalkeeper this season and he could stay at the club, but Sanchez has been identified as a potential new first-choice option in that position.
