According to the latest Newcastle transfer news from the outlet TBR Football, Newcastle United want to sign the Irish shot-stopper. But they face competition. Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, and Celtic are also interested.

Eddie Howe needs a long-term solution in goal. Martin Dubravka and Nick Pope are reliable but ageing. Dubravka is 36, while Pope is 32. Neither can be Newcastle’s number one for many more years.
Kelleher has proven himself whenever he gets a chance. He has 20 caps for Ireland. He has played in big matches despite limited opportunities at Liverpool. His experience at the top level makes him an exciting target.
Newcastle need ambition to stay among England’s top clubs. Signing a talented goalkeeper like Kelleher would be a smart move. He could be the club’s future number one.
The summer transfer window will be crucial for Newcastle. The club must act fast to secure its top targets. Kelleher could be the perfect signing to strengthen the squad.
