BREAKING News: Nick Pope Responds to Leeds United’s Transfer Enquiry – Report

Leeds United have reportedly made an enquiry into the availability of Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope, and the England international has now responded to the approach, according to sources close to the player.

 

Pope, 32, has been a key figure at Newcastle since joining from Burnley in 2022. Despite suffering a shoulder injury last season that sidelined him for several months, his reputation as one of the Premier League’s most reliable shot-stoppers remains intact. Leeds, preparing for a renewed push for promotion after missing out in the Championship play-off final, are believed to be targeting an experienced presence between the sticks.

According to reports, Pope has acknowledged Leeds’ interest but has expressed a desire to remain in the Premier League for the time being. While flattered by the approach, sources suggest Pope is committed to regaining his starting spot at St. James’ Park under Eddie Howe.

 

Leeds are now expected to explore alternative targets, though they haven’t ruled out revisiting the situation later in the transfer window, should circumstances change at Newcastle. With their goalkeeping department under review, the Whites remain active in the market.
