Southampton -goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is in conversation with Newcastle United in a movement that would see him reunite with Eddie Howe.
Ramsdale, 27, emerged as a target for the magpies after they missed James Trafford, who instead chose to do Van Burnley again in Manchester City.
Mail Sport understands that Newcastle has not yet launched a bid for Ramsdale, with a loan-to-buy offer as a potential option.
That would see him as a direct replacement or competition to the current No. 1 Nick Pope, which was associated with a move to Leeds United.
Leeds is planning to strengthen their team this summer after their return to the top flight, with the club like to avoid another stay of short -lived.
Current no. 1 Illan Meslier has been criticized after a number of expensive errors for the whites.
Leeds was one of the clubs that asked for Liverpool Caoimhin Kelleher before agreeing to join Brentford in a relocation of £ 18 million.
That has seen them put their attention on Pope, interested in St. James' Park to Ramsdale distracting.
He was banned from the Premier League with Southampton last season after he left Arsenal after he had lost the starting place by David Raya.
The chase of the magpies of Ramsdale comes after Trafford was strongly connected to a move to Newcastle United and is even thought that he told the club that he was willing to become a member of last summer.
Howe's side was previously in conversation with Burnley this window over a deal and later submitted an range of £ 27 million for the Shot stopper of England.
But when Trafford left the Etihad Stadium two years ago, he signed a contract with a 'matching clause', it understands mail sport, which means that if City corresponded to a bid that was offered by a rival worshiper, he should return.
And the side of Pep Guardiola reportedly only did that after they recently affected their interest in Trafford, with the goalkeeper in favor of a move to City over Newcastle. The deal is expected to be completed soon.
What the arrival of Trafford means for the future of Or Nomouwon and Stefan Ortega can still be seen, with both keepers coupled with a move from the club this summer.
Ederson was the subject of a £ 1 million from Turkish Giant Galatasaray last week, but the Brazilian had previously mentioned reports that he left as 'fake news'.
It is now expected that Ortega could leave Manchester City in the coming weeks.
Trafford's snub is the newest contraction in a transfer window that becomes a decent struggle for Eddie Howe and Newcastle.
So far they have only secured the signature of Anthony Elanga in a £ 55 million deal from Nottingham Forest, despite offering offers for a number of controversial stars.
This summer they missed both Hugo Ekitike and Bryan Mbuemo, where the first has completed a huge move to Liverpool and the last to the north to Manchester United.
And Newcastle also finds their pursuit of Brentford's Yoane Wissa difficult, where the club sees an offer that was rejected for the attacker a few weeks ago.
Their newest target is RB Leipzig Voorwaarten Benjamin Sesko, who was associated earlier this summer with a move to Arsenal before they secured the services of Viktor Gyokeres.
