Eddie Howe gets boost to complete £35m signing for Newcastle United

Newcastle United are set to intensify their pursuit of a new goalkeeper, with Giorgi Mamardashvili of Valencia being the club’s preferred choice.

The Premier League club has seen the 23-year-old Georgian several times, and Eddie Howe, the manager, is a huge admirer of the 6′ 6″ goalkeeper.

In order to compete with their 32-year-old first-choice goalkeeper Nick Pope, Newcastle are eager to add a new goalkeeper in the summer.

The player from Georgia is currently getting ready for Euro 2024, which will be his country’s first trip to the competition.

Despite being only 23 years old, Mamardashvili has been a standout in La Liga during the last three seasons.

Spanish outlet Super Deporte (via Newcastle World) asserts that Mamardashvili is available in the transfer window for £35 million and that Valencia must sell players first to generate their transfer funds.

Giorgi Mamardashvili is being targeted by Newcastle United.
