Newcastle United's summer transfer window is expected to gain momentum with the signing of Lukas Hornicek.
The 24-year-old Braga goalkeeper is set to join the Premier League club, with reports suggesting that the deal is in the pipeline and will be finalized soon.
Hornicek's signing will bring much-needed depth to Newcastle's goalkeeping department, which has been a concern for the club following the departure of Nick Pope, who is reportedly in the twilight stages of his career.
The opportunity to play for Newcastle will be an exciting one for Hornicek, who has already shown his quality at Braga and is expected to make an immediate impact in the Premier League.
Newcastle's summer has been marred by the loss of key players, including Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, as well as their manager, Eddie Howe, who will be replaced by Matthias Jaissle.
The signing of Hornicek could be the first of many as Newcastle look to rebuild and improve their squad in the coming weeks.
The Braga goalkeeper will face the challenge of adapting to English football quickly and making a significant contribution to Newcastle's success.
Newcastle will need to replace multiple key players this summer, including Bruno Guimaraes, who is set to join Arsenal, and it remains to be seen if they can bounce back strongly next season after a disappointing campaign last year.
