Strashoka links
The Magpies have again been linked with a move for Lazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha.
The 27-year-old stopper is out of contract this summer, and according to Corriere della Sera via SportWitness, Newcastle are eyeing a potential free transfer.
The idea could be to add competition for Martin Dubravka, who is still tied down at St James’ Park on a long term deal.
