Newcastle United is looking to move goalkeeper Nick Pope before the September 1 transfer deadline. Although the veteran was expected to remain at the club, Celtic has expressed tentative interest in the 34-year-old. Hull City and Ipswich Town have also contacted the club regarding his availability. Pope has fallen to third choice behind Lukas Hornicek and Ewen Jaouen following a summer overhaul by manager Matthias Jaissle. No formal bids have materialized as of Sunday, leaving the possibility that he stays on Tyneside through the January window. Newcastle currently seeks to avoid carrying his salary for a player outside the primary rotation.
