Loris Karius has found a new club in Newcastle United. The 29-year-old goalkeeper has signed with the Magpies until January.
Loris Karius is back on the football stage. After his contract with Liverpool expired in the summer, the goalkeeper without a club is now joining Premier League rivals Newcastle United. The 29-year-old has signed a contract with the Magpies until January, with an option to extend it until the end of the season.
Karius will not have a direct path between the posts at Newcastle. The German goalkeeper is planned as a clear substitute behind regular goalkeeper Nick Pope, who was hired in the summer. The Magpies had given their number two Martin Dubravka to Manchester United on Deadline Day. In addition, substitute Karl Darlow was also injured.
After disappointing loans to Besiktas and Union Berlin, Karius at least gets another chance to prove himself in Newcastle. The 29-year-old now has until the coming winter to recommend himself for another engagement with the Magpies or to attract the attention of other clubs.
“We’re delighted to add Loris to our squad of keepers. He’s a very good goalkeeper with Premier League and European experience and he’ll be a challenge and support for us for an important part of the season,” said the Newcastle coach Eddie Howe.
