Eddie Howe has revealed that he has 'really high hopes' for Lucas de Bolle after being 'hugely impressed' with the Newcastle United youngster.
Howe named de Bolle on the bench for the first time against Aston Villa on Sunday after the 19-year-old caught the eye in training at a time when Newcastle are without a number of regulars.
De Bolle first trained with the senior pros under Steve Bruce, but Howe has been keen to keep the midfielder around the first-team group in recent weeks, particularly after Jeff Hendrick and Matty Longstaff left on loan.
