Newcastle United are considering a move for Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina, according to the Mirror.

The North East side are preparing for their first season back in the big time having won the Championship title and promotion at the first time of asking last term.

A new shot-stopper is high on manager Rafael Benitez’s list and he has an eye on Reina, having signed him for Liverpool back in the summer of 2005.
