Newcastle rule out Karl Darlow loan deal

Newcastle United are reportedly not willing to loan out goalkeeper Karl Darlow next month, but will consider offers in the region of £3-4 million, according to SportingLife journalist Tom Carnduff.

The 28-year-old has found game time hard to come by under current manager Rafael Benitez over the past 12 months, with Martin Dubravka comfortably holding down the number one spot at St James’ Park since his arrival.

Championship leaders Leeds United and Darlow’s former employers Nottingham Forest are thought to be keen on securing the goalkeeper’s services in the new year.

However, if either club were considering a loan move for the Englishman, they may well have to think again, with Newcastle reportedly ruling out any possible loan move for Darlow.

Darlow made over 100 appearances at the City Ground before leaving the club for the Magpies in 2014 alongside Jamaal Lascelles in a deal worth £7 million, and it looks like if Forest want to bring Darlow back to Nottingham, they will have to pay at least £3 million for the shot stopper.
