Newcastle United are moving on from their pursuit of Japan international Zion Suzuki and are now closing in on a different goalkeeper target, according to a new report.

The Magpies had been linked with Suzuki, but that move has come to an end, prompting the club to pivot to an alternative as they seek to strengthen between the posts following Eddie Howe's resignation as manager.

The transfer is reportedly being accelerated by the activation of a release clause, suggesting Newcastle's new target could arrive without a prolonged negotiation between clubs.

The goalkeeping search marks one of the first pieces of significant transfer business Newcastle are expected to conduct under their new football leadership structure, with Howe's departure having opened a new chapter at St. James' Park.

Further details on the identity of the new target and the progress of the deal are expected to emerge in the coming days as the club works to complete their summer recruitment plans.
