Newcastle and Tottenham are understood to have contacted Chelsea regarding a transfer for goalkeeper Mike Penders this summer. Penders, 20, has been on loan at Strasbourg after joining Chelsea from Genk for €20m in 2024 and has impressed during his time in France. According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea has informed interested parties that Penders is not available. The same source states there is a likelihood that the Belgian could become Liam Rosenior’s first-choice goalkeeper next season.

In recent weeks, Newcastle has made enquiries regarding Mike Penders. Chelsea's owners, BlueCo, have rejected the enquiry and informed Newcastle that Penders is not for sale.

Jeunes Footeux reports that Newcastle United are interested in Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders and have made initial contact to prepare for a potential deal. The same report does not specify whether the contact was with the club or the player.

Newcastle United is reportedly monitoring the situation of Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders, who is currently on loan at Strasbourg. The player's future at his parent club is unclear, and it is said that Chelsea are uncertain if he is ready for a first-team role. Strasbourg hopes to keep Penders for another season, but Newcastle is watching him with consideration for next season. The Magpies might attempt to sign the goalkeeper, particularly as their own keepers Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale, and Mark Gillespie have contracts ending in the summer, and the potential departure of the first two could cause them to act.
