Newcastle United backup goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has been urged to leave the club.

The 34-year-old played Euro 2024 qualifiers for Slovakia during this international break, including a 3-2 loss to Portugal.

However, ex-Slovakia forward Robert Vittek hopes that Dubravka can get a move to find his best form with club and country before his career runs out.

He told Sport 24: "With his performance against Portugal, he certainly caught the attention of several interesting clubs. If he doesn't get an opportunity at Newcastle, I wish him to find a club in January where he will play regularly.

Ex-Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel added: “A goalkeeper with such qualities as he has deserves to catch [play]. Whether it will be at Newcastle or somewhere else.

“I am convinced that the match against Portugal was watched by many agents, coaches and officials, and Martin Dúbravka's name was written down in many notebooks.

“I don't want to say that it was a bad move, transfers to such clubs happen once in a lifetime and he wanted to try it. However, he left as No.1 and returned as second choice."
