Tim Krul hails "dream" season

Newcastle United keeper Tim Krul has described his first full season in the Premier League as "a dream come true".

Krul, who has been an ever-present in the club's lineup this season, admits that he and his teammates can continue to develop despite challenging for a Champions League spot for much of the current campaign.

"I couldn't have wished for a better first full season in the Premier League," he told the club's official website.

"It has been a great experience. It's a dream come true for me to be first choice at a club like this. I want to keep on learning though.

"This weekend we've got Everton and we need a win there to finish the season off."

The Magpies beat the Toffees 2-1 at the Sports Direct Arena earlier this season.
