NEWCASTLE UNITED LOAN DEAL COMPLETED - THE FIRST OF THIS SUMMER 2024 TRANSFER WINDOW

The first Newcastle United loan deal of this transfer window.

Remarkably, it has taken until 29 August 2024 for this to happen, previous seasons seeing any number of outgoing loans long before this point, especially younger players.

This summer 2024 first Newcastle United loan deal sees Max Thompson heading out for first team football.

The promising 20 year old keeper reported (see below) to have signed on loan for League Two Chesterfield.

Derbyshire Times report – 29 August 2024:

‘Chesterfield have signed young Newcastle United goalkeeper Max Thompson on loan.

The 20-year-old has joined the Spireites on a deal from the Premier League giants.

The stopper is highly thought of at St James’ Park, having signed a new extended contract until summer 2025 in February this year.

Thompson, capped by England at under-18 level, has some experience of senior football, keeping five clean sheets in 15 league appearances for League One Northampton Town in the first-half of last season.

He has been in and around Newcastle’s senior squad, travelling with the first-team, but is yet to make his debut.

Chesterfield have been searching for another keeper to provide Ryan Boot with some competition. Thompson signs ahead of Friday’s 11pm transfer deadline and he could be included in the squad for Saturday’s trip to leaders Gillingham.’
