Martin Dubravka, Emil Krafth Sign New Contracts at Newcastle United

Newcastle United has confirmed the contract extensions of goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka and defender Emil Krafth, securing their services until at least the end of the 2025-26 season. Dúbravka, who was previously linked with a move to Al-Shabab, expressed his happiness about the new deal, emphasizing his strong connection to the club and its supporters. Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe praised Dúbravka's contributions and ability to step up in critical moments, especially with Nick Pope's injury. Krafth, who has made 93 appearances since joining the club in 2019, also expressed excitement about continuing with Newcastle and contributing to the team's success. Both players' extensions come amid speculation about potential signings, including Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, as Newcastle aims to strengthen its squad. Howe's praise for both players reflects the club's focus on maintaining a strong core as they compete in the league and cup competitions.
