Kepa Arrizabalaga would no longer be a worth goalkeeper signing for Newcastle United, in line with one pundit who believes he is no higher than Martin Dubravka.
In the imminent summer time switch window, Newcastle aren't watching for to spend as a good deal as they did in January. But one area they could look to reinforce is in goal. They are reportedly working thru a shortlist of goals, which includes Kepa.
The Spain worldwide became the maximum pricey goalkeeper in history while Chelsea signed him from Athletic Bilbao in 2018. However, he has struggled for consistency and given that 2020 has been a backup at the back of Edouard Mendy.
It method Kepa might be considering his future, considering the fact that he should be in his top years at the age of 27. There had been quite a number transfer links in current months.
Newcastle might be one option, allowing him to maintain within the Premier League. But in step with former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson, Kepa could now not even constitute an improve on the Magpies’ modern-day primary, Dubravka.
Robinson advised Football Insider: “If you will spend big cash on a new number one goalkeeper, you have to get extensively better than what you already have.
“I don’t assume Kepa is better than Dubravka. I like Dubravka. He is robust, commanding and makes large saves. I believe he is a top-elegance goalkeeper.
“If you've got Kepa and Dubravka, for me, Dubravka plays.
“If Newcastle need to bolster in the goalkeeping department, they must look elsewhere I suppose.
“Most golf equipment like to carry two range-one-calibre goalkeepers now, so I apprehend their wondering. But I don’t think Kepa need to update Dubravka.”
