Fraser Forster’s expected switch to Burnley FC is not a done deal according to Newcastle United manager Chris Hughton.
Reports suggested the Clarets were close to signing the Magpies keeper on a season-long loan.
However, it appears Hughton wants an assurance from Turf Moor that Forster will see regular first-team football before he will allow the loan move to take place.
He told The Sunday Sun he said: "Fraser hasn`t gone to Burnley and they haven`t reached an agreement with us.
"We`re conscious of the fact Burnley want him and there has been communication, but we haven`t made a decision on whether he will go there.
"I think to be fair to their side there has been a lot of discussion between the two clubs and more so between Brian Laws and myself.
"Anything that has come out, whether it`s premature or not, I think it was done with the best intentions.
"If he is going to go out on loan we want him to be playing.
"It`s important he goes somewhere where he is playing football matches and I think that is the same with anyone we let go out on loan this season.
"We want them to be put in a starting position when they go there. If it doesn`t work out and they lose their place, that`s different. That`s down to their form and that`s normal."
