Comparing Dean Henderson’s PL record with Newcastle’s other GKs

Henderson wants to leave Old Trafford having found himself deputy to David de Gea this season – and in need of game-time if he wants to make England’s 2022 World Cup squad.

United interim manager Ralf Rangnick initially resisted Henderson’s attempts to force a move but, with the player insistent, Rangnick has relented and talks are underway over a loan deal.

And Newcastle would be adding a goalkeeper with top-flight experience at United and Sheffield United to their ranks – representing a coup for the relegation battlers.

After the signings of Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood, Bruno Guimaraes and Dan Burn, Newcastle would have given themselves a fighting chance of staying in the Premier League – but would Henderson be a good acquisition for Eddie Howe’s side?

We’ve crunched each goalkeeper’s Premier League numbers to see whether Henderson represents an upgrade for Newcastle compared to their current custodians.
