Newcastle are in advanced talks to sign former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius following an injury to Karl Darlow in training on Wednesday.
Karius is a free agent after his Liverpool contract ended in the summer.
He hadn’t played for Liverpool since Alisson arrived in 2018, spending the last two years on loan at Besiktas and Union Berlin.
The 29-year-old is already in Newcastle to undergo a medical and sign a short-term deal to move to St James’ Park.
