Martin Dubravka has made a transfer request to Newcastle United.

The goalkeeper is in talks with Manchester United about joining as cover for David de Gea.

Dubravka is eager to see the move happen and Sky Sports says he has now asked Newcastle to allow him to leave.

The 33 year-old has lost his No1 status at Newcastle after the arrival of Nick Pope from Burnley.

United hope to sign Dubravka in the coming days.
