Manager wants to keep proven ace from reported Newcastle clutches, three alternatives Benitez must home in on – view

Artur Boruc

Former Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc is likely to feel slightly aggrieved after starring for the Cherries between the sticks last season, before Bournemouth decided to spend £10million on Asmir Begovic.

It will make the 37-year-old veteran second choice at the Vitality Stadium, and at this point in his career he needs regular first-team football to prolong his involvement in the game.

Newcastle can offer the Poland international that game time, as he would prove a huge improvement on the likes of Karl Darlow and Rob Elliot.
