NEWCASTLE UNITED HAVE signed goalkeeper Loris Karius on a short-term contract.
Karius, a free agent following his departure from Liverpool in the summer, has agreed a deal until January with an option to extend his stay until the end of the season.
The German’s arrival follows an ankle injury sustained by Karl Darlow in training.
While Darlow is not expected to be out long term, Newcastle have moved quickly to secure experienced cover and to add competition to the squad.
Newcastle United head coach, Eddie Howe, said: “We are pleased to add Loris to our goalkeeping group.
“He is a very good goalkeeper with Premier League and European experience and he will provide competition and support over an important part of the season.”
Karius said: “I’m excited. It’s a good opportunity for me and a great project to be part of. It didn’t take me long to make a decision.
“Newcastle have a great coach and play really attractive football. I felt it was the right project for me and I’m excited to work with the coaches and my new teammates.”
Everything’s going great according to this. Good for them
This is only going to fester and become an open sore.
It won’t go away until Scotland win without Russell going forward or Townsend keeps losing as a coach and gets sacked
Deary me
Scotland in disaray at the moment
I’m afraid its up to Finn Russell ,he’s been told he’s welcome back so what’s the problem!
@Dod: he got annoyed at an 11pm cut off point for beers one night in camp. That’s where his “trust issues” come from. Felt management setting the cut off point showed a lack of trust. My guess is he developed this feeling at about 11:01pm.
