The truth behind Jamaal Lascelles and Florian Lejeune exit stories and why signing Martin Dubravka was so important

Hello and welcome to this week’s Everything is Black and White Podcast covering everything Newcastle United. Host Andrew Musgrove is joined by Newcastle United editor Mark Douglas and Newcastle United writer Chris Waugh to analyse the latest Magpie news. The big talking point of the week is the permanent signing of Martin Dubravka and the trio look at the impact he had on the side and why it was so important to get the deal sorted.The Slovak signed until 2022 earlier this week after impressing during his loan move to Tyneside from Sparta Prague. United have an agreement in place which meant they could snap the goalkeeper up for just £4 million - something they took advantage of. Elsewhere the imminent exits of Chancel Mbemba and Matz Sels are discussed as well as rumours linking Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles and his defensive partner Florian Lejeune, with moves away. Finally, Rafa Benitez’s future is again up for discussion as talks over a new contract stall ahead of what should be a busy summer transfer window.
