Nick Pope is the only goalkeeper in history to keep six clean sheets in his first six international appearances. Newcastle United have announced the England star as their second summer signing, with the 30-year-old signing a four-year deal.
The Magpies will pay around £10million for Pope - a cut-price fee following Burnley’s relegation to the Championship. Signing a new goalkeeper gives Eddie Howe a selection headache ahead of the 2022-23 campaign as Martin Dubravka has been the undisputed number one since his 2018 arrival.
Astonishingly, Pope boasts the impressive record of the longest streak without conceding a goal after making his international debut.
The shot-stopper was part of the Three Lions side that defeated Costa Rica, Kosovo, Wales, Republic of Ireland, San Marino and Albania - a six-game stretch that saw him achieve the honour in March last year.
