Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund are weighing up a move for former Bayern Munich goalkeeper Lukas Raeder.

The 6ft 5in German is a free agent and has been training with Southampton but has failed to agree terms with the south coast club.

The 23-year-old, who was deputy to Manuel Neuer and won the FIFA Club World Cup with the Bundesliga giants in 2013, has had two spells working with Southampton over a ten day period this summer and they were open to offering him a deal to increase competition for Fraser Forster.

Raeder does not turn 24 until December so also qualifies to play for U23 development squads.


He moved from Munich in 2014 to spend two seasons with Vitoria Setubal but has now left the Portuguese club.

Newcastle remain interested in signing West Ham goalkeeper Adrian as first choice with Karl Darlow a potential makeweight in any deal.
