Martin Dubravka has revealed he is in talks over a new contract to remain at Newcastle United.

Dubravka has three years remaining on his current deal but despite impressing since arriving in the North East, remains one of the club's lowest earners.

Speaking after the defeat to Liverpool on Saturday, the Slovakian goalkeeper said: 'We're in talks. I'm close. We are in contact and hopefully we can sort it out as soon as possible.

Martin Dubravka has revealed he is in talks and 'close' to agreeing a new deal at Newcastle

'I'm happy here so if I can stay longer here, I will be happy. Since I came here, people have treated me really well. I can say that I feel at home here.

'I'm glad that people think that I can stay here for the longer term. It's such a big honour for me.'

Dubravka arrived from Slavia Prague on a loan deal back in 2018 but has quickly gone on to establish himself as the club's No 1 goalkeeper.

He was at fault for Liverpool's second goal but remains a firm favourite among supporters and boss Steve Bruce is keen to reward some of the squad's low earners with fresh terms.
