Could a transfer from Arsenal happen?
When everyone in Newcastle is fit, then Martin Dubravka is the first choice goalkeeper.
Karl Darlow is also an option for manager Steve Bruce.
Woodman is unlikely to play much this season, and a trade to Arsenal could be attractive to him.

Yes, Bernd Leno is Arsenal’s starting goalkeeper, but the German international makes mistakes.
Woodman, who is only 24, could step in and establish himself as coach Arteta’s number one goalkeeper.
Woodman did well during his loan spells at Swansea City in the Championship, and the opportunity to play for a great club like Arsenal could attract him.
Yes, the Englishman has not played a single time in the Premier League, but he could turn out to be a gem.
Interestingly, Woodman will make his Premier League debut today when Newcastle take on West Ham United.
Newcastle manager Steve Bruce has said on the club’s official website that with Dubravka injured and Darlow still recovering from the illness, the 24-year-old Englishman will start against the Hammers.
