Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce says they see Freddie Woodman as part of the club's future.

The England youth international is currently on-loan with Swansea City.

Bruce said, "(Karl) Darlow's been waiting all these years... Look, he's played in the cups and played very, very well.

"We're very, very fortunate that we've got three or four good goalkeepers. The kid at Swansea [Freddie Woodman] – who we're monitoring – is doing very, very well.

"Karl is very, very decent. I see him every day. He's a very good goalkeeper, so if he gets his chance, I have no problem that he'll be a very good deputy for him."
