Some Newcastle United fans have been reacting to a report that Watford are interested in signing Karl Darlow.
The Sunday Mirror have claimed the Hornets are looking for a long-term replacement for Ben Foster, who is now 38.
Darlow is currently out of the team again following Martin Dubravka’s return from injury in January.
The Slovakia international took a few weeks to break back into the starting XI, before eventually displacing his English teammate.
Darlow losing his place in the side came at a crucial time for the player, with some feeling he was in contention for an England call-up.
He was ultimately never called up by Gareth Southgate, and Darlow was said to be ‘very upset’ at missing out due to not playing for the Magpies.
According to the Mirror’s report, Watford are preparing a £6 million offer for Darlow, who only signed a new contract last year.
On social media, fans have been reacting to the thought of Darlow potentially leaving this summer.
Given his good form earlier this season, plenty don’t want to see him go, but others are open to his departure so long as Freddie Woodman – currently on loan at Swansea City – comes back into the first-team picture:
