# Newcastle interested in Hennessey

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey is the subject of interest from Newcastle.

[According to The Daily Star,](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/640939/Crystal-Palace-Transfer-News-Frank-de-Boer-Mamadou-Sakho-Michel-Vorm-Vincent-Janssen) Newcastle are interested in making a move for Hennessey.

Rafa Benitez is looking to strengthen his goalkeeping options, with Rob Elliot currently his first-choice goalkeeper.

[Palace](https://readcrystalpalace.com/) are closing in on the signing of Michael Vorm from [Tottenham](https://readtottenham.com/), which would allow Newcastle to swoop in and sign Hennessey.

Newcastle have three points after their first three games of the [Premier League](https://readpl.com/) season, following their 3-0 win over [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/) last weekend.

Hennessey won his place in the [Palace](https://readcrystalpalace.com/) side back off Steve Mandanda last season and helped the club to secure their status in the top-flight for another season.

The transfer window closes at 11pm tomorrow night and Newcastle are still expected to do a lot of business before the window closes, with Hennessey possibly being one of many in the door.

He is currently on international duty with Wales.
