Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is ready to give Elliot Anderson his “window of opportunity” to impress.
The teenager has been held back from a loan deal with Bristol Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday among those keen.
But Howe has indicated he will be involved at United - not least after a bright cameo at Wolves where he nearly won the game late on.
When asked if he was edging closer, Howe said: “Really good performance from Elliot at Wolves. I think he’s been waiting for that window of opportunity.
“We were chasing the game, I was delighted to give him that moment. I thought he did really well. He was very good in the pockets, made a creative difference for us. He’s a player with a very bright future.”
