Watford are reportedly considering a loan move for Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul, who is currently on a temporary deal at Ajax.

Watford are reportedly planning to move for Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul.

The Premier League outfit are believed to be keen to find cover for their second-choice shot-stopper Costel Pantilimon after he was hit with a four-week injury layoff.

Krul is currently spending the season on loan at Ajax, but it has been a disappointing stint for the 28-year-old Dutchman as he has not yet made a single appearance for the first team.

According to Sky Sports News, the Eredivisie outfit are willing to cut short Krul's stay and Watford are eyeing a potential loan for the rest of the season.

Krul has spent over a decade at Newcastle, but he is no longer seen as first choice at St James' Park, with manager Rafael Benitez preferring Karl Darlow.
