Not sure if Tzanev was a fans favourite at The Dons?
Newport County were 22nd (3rd last) in L2 last season - 7 pts clear of 23rd - so not avoiding relegation by much. Unlike at Northampton sounds like the Bulgarian-Kiwi will go straight in as the starting GK.
Henry Gray could also end up in L2 also on loan from Ipswich. Him & Tzanev might end up in a shootout to be the 3rd keeper at the World Cup. That's if Sail is out of favour.

Tzanev moved from his native New Zealand to England in 2006 at the age of nine and came through the academy ranks at Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Brentford before joining AFC Wimbledon in 2017 where he made 126 senior appearances as a fans’ favourite.

He signed a one-year contract with League One Northampton in 2024 and made 23 appearances last season.
He is expected to join up with the squad towards the end of the month after taking time off following his involvement with New Zealand in the Canadian Shield.
It’s a major boost for manager David Hughes who was keen to add a quality goalkeeper to his squad following the departure of the long-serving Nick Townsend.
