‘It’s difficult to comment on individuals’: Eddie Howe breaks silence on Newcastle United's links with Henderson

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has rubbished reports that his side are close to agreeing on a deal to sign Dean Henderson from Man United in the summer.

He said: “We're not close to signing anybody at this moment at time. We're not at any advanced stage with that. It's very difficult for me to comment on individual players because I'd be giving you an answer on every target, but that's far from the truth.”

This comes after it was reported that Henderson had travelled to Newcastle earlier this week to discuss a move to the club.

The Red Devils reportedly prefer to send him out on loan as Dean is desperate to get regular playing time next season.
