NEWCASTLE ADD ANOTHER TO THEIR SQAUD FOR THE NEW SEASON

Written by Peter Ogboaka

Newcastle United have reached an agreement to sign Czech goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček after triggering his £25 million release clause, strengthening their goalkeeping department ahead of the new season.

The Magpies have successfully concluded negotiations, with the player also agreeing to personal terms. Horníček is now set to undergo medical tests before completing the transfer.

Once the medical is finalized, the Czech shot-stopper will sign a long-term contract until June 2031, committing his future to Newcastle as the club continues to build a squad capable of competing at the highest level.

Newcastle view Horníček as one of the most promising young goalkeepers in European football. His impressive reflexes, composure on the ball, and commanding presence in the penalty area have made him a highly sought-after talent.

The move represents another significant investment by Newcastle as they continue to strengthen key areas of the squad ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. Securing a young goalkeeper on a long-term deal underlines the club’s commitment to building for both the present and the future.

The transfer is expected to be officially announced after Horníček successfully completes his medical examinations and signs the necessary documents.

With the agreement now in place, Newcastle fans can look forward to welcoming another exciting addition as the club aims to challenge domestically and in European competitions.
