Therefore, Newcastle will need to bring in homemade players during the summer transfer period. According to reports from Athletic, they were able to consider resigning as former academy alumni to meet UEFA standards.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_goalkeeping_trio_that_catches_attention_in_Newcastle\"><\/span>A goalkeeping trio that catches attention in Newcastle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fraser-Forster-in-action-for-Tottenham-414x314.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fraser-Forster-in-action-for-Tottenham-630x477.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fraser-Forster-in-action-for-Tottenham-768x582.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fraser-Forster-in-action-for-Tottenham-770x583.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fraser-Forster-in-action-for-Tottenham-900x682.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Fraser-Forster-in-action-for-Tottenham.jpg.webp 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fraser Forster In Action for Tottenham (Photo: Michael Regan\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">Reports suggest that players like Freddie Woodman, Tim Krull and Fraser Forster may be on the radar. It remains to be seen whether they decided to make a move for one of the three goalkeepers in the summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Woodman has done well with Preston and he could be a useful player for them. Similarly, Krul was due to be released by Luton Town, allowing him to fantasize about the opportunity to return to his previous club in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As for Fourstar, he was released by Tottenham Hotspur, but it remains to be seen whether Magpies have decided to move out for him. Something like Krul and Forster have a lot of Premier League experience and could prove to be useful acquisitions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Signing a free transfer of either is a risk-free acquisition and not a significant amount of money. It is still unknown if the club will be decided in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe watches during Premier League games.
