Newcastle United have made an out of window signing by drafting in Leeds United youngster Alfie Hughes. The 19-year-old starred in the 1-0 win over Birmingham City on Monday night.
United Academy sources have confirmed to Chronicle Live that the midfielder is currently being considered for a permanent place at the club's Academy. Hughes is a left-winger who was born in Stockton but starred for Manchester United and Middlesbrough youth sides.
Hughes signed a professional deal with Leeds last year but now finds himself on Tyneside. Back then he said: “I’m quite a creative player, I like to get on the ball and make things happen and work hard for the team."
