Newcastle United ‘have stepped up their interest in Manchester United and England goalkeeper Dean Henderson’ ahead of the summer window.
Eddie Howe wanted to sign Henderson, 25, on loan in January and could now sanction a move for the £20million-valued stopper, who is viewed as the ideal successor to Martin Dubravka.
