Two goalkeepers leave Newcastle as Odysseas Vlachodimos heads to Spain after Martin Dubravka joins Burnley
Newcastle United goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos is on his way to Spain to undergo a medical with Sevilla.
The Greece international, who has yet to start a first-team game for the Magpies, arrived last summer from Nottingham Forest in part of the deal that took Elliot Anderson the other way.
Newcastle have agreed a season-long loan with Sevilla for the 31-year-old.
Vlochodimos will still have another two years left on his Newcastle contract if he returns to Tyneside next summer.
Meanwhile, another Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka, 36, has finalised his transfer to Burnley.
Signing a one year deal, Dubravka said: ‘I’m delighted to be here.
