Newcastle in for Cillessen

Talksport understands that Newcastle United could be set to make a move for Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen.

The Netherlands international moved to the Nou Camp from Ajax in the summer of 2016 but has struggled for game time since, playing just eleven times.

He made just one La Liga appearance last season, with the majority of his game time coming in the Copa Del Rey though he did help the Catalan club to glory in that competition.

His only game this campaign also came in the cup, and he is now set to consider his options as he looks to play more regularly.

During his time with Ajax Cillessen played one hundred and forty-three times in all competitions and helped the side win three consecutive Eredivise titles.

Internationally, he has been capped thirty-eight times for his country, with five of those outings coming in their recent failed World Cup qualification campaign.
