Elliot Anderson will not become complacent and is already targeting the 'next breakthough' after signing a long-term contract at Newcastle United. That is the view of ChronicleLive columnist Lee Clark, who feels he is already 'on the verge' of becoming a first-team starter under Eddie Howe.
Anderson became a member of the senior squad this summer on the back of a scintillating loan spell with Bristol Rovers. The 19-year-old helped Joey Barton's side seal promotion to League One with the last goal in a memorable 7-0 win over Scunthorpe United on the final day.
Newcastle rebuffed a number of loan offers over the summer, with Anderson successfuly staking his claim for a spot in the senior squad over pre-season. The attacking midfielder made a start in the Carabao Cup second-round victory over Tranmere Rovers, and has already impressed in several Premier League cameos.
