Newcastle sign former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Carius

Newcastle have signed former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Carius on a short-term contract as cover for Nick Pope after fellow stopper Karl Darlow was injured.

The German, a free agent after leaving Liverpool in June, has agreed a deal until January with the option of extending his stay until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old has arrived after Darlow sustained an ankle injury during training.

“We are delighted to have Lloris in our goalkeeping group,” said Newcastle boss Eddie Howe. “He is a very good goalkeeper with Premier League and European experience and he will compete and provide support for a significant part of the season.”

Karius was previously Liverpool’s first-choice goalkeeper under Jurgen Klopp, but never played for the club again after making catastrophic errors for two goals in a 3-1 loss by Real Madrid in the 2018 Champions League final.
