Newcastle United rejected multiple loan offers for under-21 talent over the summer as they look to improve the club's youth setup. The Magpies have been plagued with underachieving reserve and academy sides in recent years but have bolstered their ranks in recent months with some top class teenage additions.
Newcastle are hoping to build a strong base of young talent and keep them at the club, allowing them to follow a pathway to the first-team. The likes of Jay Turner-Cooke, Matty Bondswell and Michael Ndiweni are players who attracted interest in England's lower leagues and in other countries over the summer.
In the senior side, Elliot Anderson's impressive performances in pre-season saw Eddie Howe keep the 19-year-old at Newcastle, despite over a dozen clubs eyeing his signature.
