Chelsea goalkeeper Femke Liefting is set to join Newcastle on loan for the season.

The 20-year-old joined Chelsea in January on a three-and-a-half year deal from AZ Alkmaar but is yet to make a competitive appearance for the club.

She received her first call-up to the senior Netherlands squad for friendlies against Indonesia and Denmark in October last year.

WSL 2 side Newcastle United have already made six signings this summer as they aim for promotion to the top tier.
