Newcastle United told to complete signing that will take the club to ‘another level’

Jose Enrique believes the arrival of Dean Henderson would take Newcastle United to “another level”.

Sources in Manchester claim the Magpies are determined to sign the Manchester United goalkeeper this summer, though Eddie Howe rubbished talk that a deal was close last month.

Cumbrian-born Henderson is keen to leave Old Trafford this summer in search of regular minutes having been second choice to David de Gea.

St James’ Park has been touted as Henderson’s most likely destination with head coach Eddie Howe open to bolstering his goalkeeping department.

And Enrique, a former left-back at Newcastle and Liverpool, has urged United to sign 25-year-old Henderson.

Enrique told bettingexpert: “If they want to sign (Dean) Henderson from Manchester United, I really, really like him.

“The goalkeeper at Newcastle at the moment (Martin Dubravka) is doing really well and has done well but I think when you go for this kind of goalkeeper (Henderson) it can take you to another level.”

Also speaking to Genting Casino, the Spaniard added: “I would definitely sign Dean Henderson. I’ve said I like him a lot in the past. He’s a great goalkeeper.

“Dubravka is doing well but Henderson would be a good fit in the long run and Newcastle’s back-ups aren’t good enough at the moment.

“Henderson will be looking for a move too as with the form De Gea is in now, he’s not going to play.”

Martin Dubravka played 26 consecutive games last season and kept eight clean sheets. Karl Darlow was used as back up, while Freddie Woodman was loaned to Bournemouth for the second-half of the campaign.
