Nick Pope is reportedly close to signing a four-year contract with Newcastle United for a sum estimated to be about £12 million.
The goalkeeper wanted to move back to the Premier League to maintain his chances of reaching England’s World Cup squad, even though he had a year left on his Burnley contract and a club option for another 12 months.

Burnley supporters will surely feel as though the goalkeeper is leaving on the cheap, but few Premier League goalies have been sold for more than £15 million, and Pope’s age, contract situation, and the Clarets’ need to spend in other parts of the team all come into play.
Since his arrival at Turf Moor, Pope has enjoyed tremendous success.
He started out as a backup before seizing the opportunity to replace Tom Heaton as the top player when the latter became injured.
Along the way, Pope helped England gain recognition. He has 155 outings under his belt for the Clarets.
