Chris Sutton has urged Martin Dubravka to make a fresh start this summer by joining Celtic, leaving behind his role at Newcastle. Despite a strong season filling in for the injured Nick Pope, links to Burnley’s James Trafford suggest Dubravka could become third choice under Eddie Howe.
With Celtic needing a replacement for the retiring Joe Hart, Sutton believes Dubravka would benefit from a move to Glasgow. Drawing comparisons to Hart’s successful stint with the club, Sutton sees the potential for Dubravka to thrive in a new environment.
At 35 years old, Dubravka may have one more major move left in his career, and Celtic could offer the chance for regular game time and the opportunity to compete for silverware. Whether he stays at Newcastle as a backup or drops down a division in England remains to be seen, but joining Celtic could offer exciting prospects for the Slovakian international.
Newcastle will likely seek to offload Dubravka before June 30 to meet financial regulations, while the keeper remains focused on EURO 2024 before making any decisions about his future.
