Official: "Newcastle" acquires N. Pope © JumpStory

"Newcastle United" acquired a very solid goalkeeper for the upcoming season. On Thursday, the Newcastle club officially announced that they have acquired "Burnley" goalkeeper Nick Pope. It is reported that "Newcastle" paid 10 million pounds for the 30-year-old goalkeeper recently released by his former club. N. Pope was one of the reasons why the "Burnley" team managed to stay in the Premier League for so long. However, this year the Englishman had to leave the highest English division with his team. It is worth mentioning that "Newcastle" introduced their new goalkeeper in a very original way. Smoke rose from the top of the stadium in the video recording, which usually signifies the election of a new pope. In English, a pope is called "Pope." 🧤🧤 pic.twitter.com/lHN3sDsRwy - Newcastle United FC (@NUFC) June 23, 2022
