Summary

Newcastle United is considering a move for Braga goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek as part of their ongoing search for a new No. 1. The 24-year-old Czech Republic international has a £30 million release clause and has drawn interest from multiple European clubs. Newcastle has yet to make an official offer but has conducted inquiries. Hornicek's strong performances last season included 12 clean sheets in 33 league appearances.
