TOON CAN SIGN UP A DUB STAR
Hodgson’s striker crisis as he battles to beat drop
Big Big chance chance total conversion MARTIN DUBRAVKA wants to make his loan move to Newcastle permanent. The £4.2million-rated Slovakia keeper is keen to seal a switch from Sparta Prague, but is still fighting to convince Toon boss Rafa Benitez. Dubravka, 29, (left) said: “I want to stay here after the summer so I need to remain focused. I’ve enjoyed every game I have played here. I came to help these guys and they are helping me.” Italian club Udinese are also monitoring Dubravka, along with Bundesliga teams. BURNLEY goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard has signed a new contract to stay at Turf Moor for another season.
The 33-year-old (above), who is yet to feature since arriving from Preston last summer, will remain until June 2019. The former Manchester United man seems content despite being behind Nick Pope and Tom Heaton in the pecking order.
