Newcastle United are in talks with Manchester United over a loan move for goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
Sources say there is a chance of a deal being struck before Monday’s transfer deadline.
Henderson, 24, wants to leave Old Trafford having found himself deputy to David de Gea this season.

United interim boss Ralf Rangnick has reluctantly agreed to Henderson’s demands to leave
The Magpies have a long-standing interest in the England stopper and are now pushing ahead with a move.
Newcastle No.1 Martin Dubravka has suffered with injury in recent seasons and did not play during their friendly match in Saudi Arabia on Friday evening.
Should Henderson arrive, it would rule out a loan move for United forward Jesse Lingard, as clubs cannot loan two players from the same team.
Henderson held talks with former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and has since spoken with interim manager Ralf Rangnick, but was told he was needed with the club still in the Champions League.

But the loan move will mean a likely end to trying to sign Jesse Lingard for Newcastle
However, after making it clear he wanted a chance to play, Rangnick has relented and talks are underway over a loan deal.
His signing would represent another coup for Newcastle following the £33m signing of Bruno Guimaraes from Lyon. Dan Burn is also poised to join from Brighton in a £13m deal.
United remain talks with Everton and Crystal Palace regarding a loan departure for Donny van de Beek and with Bordeaux over defender Phil Jones.
Rangnick could be viewed as taking a risk letting Henderson go, but with Tom Heaton in reserve he wants to be fair to the keeper, who is eager to get his career back on track.
Rangnick has set about streamlining his bloated squad in the hope it can bring in funds and better harmony and balance. Anthony Martial has left for Sevilla, Amad Diallo has joined Rangers but Lingard will remain a frustrated figure if he can’t find an exit over the next 24 hours.
