Leeds United have registered their interest in signing Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope this summer. Sources have told Football Insider that the Whites are keen to sign a new number one, with Pope emerging as a top target.

What's the latest on Nick Pope's transfer?

Newcastle United are working on signing another keeper, with Manchester City's James Trafford a top target. This could pave the way for Pope's departure, with Leeds United ready to pounce.

Why is Nick Pope a target for Leeds United?

Pope has one year remaining on his contract and is set to leave St James' Park. He made 27 Premier League appearances for Newcastle this season, having been usurped by Aaron Ramsdale for a run of games in March.

What's the current situation with Leeds United's goalkeepers?

Leeds signed Lucas Perri in a deal worth around £14m last summer, but he has failed to impress since making the switch. Karl Darlow ultimately finished the season as the number one, but the Wales international is yet to sign a new contract and can leave for free next week. | Category | Stat | | --- | --- | | League standing | 14th in Premier League, 47 pts, 11W-14D-13L from 38 games, recent form LWDWD | | Goals this season | 49 scored, 56 conceded (-7 goal difference) | | Title race | 38 points behind leaders Arsenal | Leeds must now return to the market and look for a new number one.
