Elliot Anderson has impressed Eddie Howe on Newcastle ’s pre-season tour of Austria ahead of a decision on his future.
The attacking midfielder played as the Magpies beat 1860 Munich 3-0 as Howe runs the rule over him. Anderson scored with times last season as he helped Joey barton’s Bristol Rovers to a dramatic last-day promotion to League One. He’s a man in demand this summer, with Hearts interested in singing the Scotland Under 21 international on loan as Robbie Neilson seeks more attacking options.. They face competition from England though, with Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town also keen on the 19-year-old.
Whether Anderson heads out on loan or not will be determined soon. The possibility remains that he could stay in the north east to bulk out Howe’s first team squad, and his showing in Austria has done his chances of that no harm, with the Newcastle bass noticing improvements in his game.
