‘Premier League’s best goalkeeper’ in line to leave club THIS WEEK despite transfer window closing
GOALKEEPERS Jose Sa and Odysseas Vlachodimos could STILL leave Wolves and Newcastle this week.
Sa has lost his place at Molineux after Sam Johnstone arrived from Crystal Palace and the 31-year-old is open to a move to Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi window does not close until Monday.
And the Portugal international’s agent will try to find him a club – boosted by stats showing their man had the BEST Premier League stats in one respect last season.
Sa topped the list, ahead of Aston Villa’s Emiliano Martinez, for thwarting “expected goal on target”.
He was not involved with Wolves’ matchday squad for Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest.
Greece stopper Vlachodimos, 30, only joined Toon from Forest in June — but he may go to Anderlecht before Friday’s deadline in Belgium.
Johnstone’s arrival at Molineux came amid a goalkeeping merry-go-round, especially for England hopefuls.
Aaron Ramsdale‘s switch from Arsenal to Southampton was the main attraction.
He’d lost his Emirates’ No1 spot to David Raya.

The Gunners instantly brought in Bournemouth’s Neto, 35, on loan as Raya’s new back-up.
Meanwhile, Johnstone was in a similar situation to Ramsdale, but at Selhurst Park.
And after it became clear that Dean Henderson would remain the first pick for the Eagles, he decided to move on.
Meanwhile, Vlachodimos is also after more game-time.
Belgium’s transfer window stays open another week.
But one obstacle to joining Anderlecht could be claims they are happy with Colin Coosemans remaining their top option between the sticks.
