Newcastle United have a new wonderkid in their ranks - and he's a local lad to boot. Elliot Anderson spent the beginning of 2022 embarrassing defences and scoring for fun at League Two Bristol Rovers and has spent the summer impressing at much higher level among the Magpies' first-team.
With less than a month to go until the start of the transfer window, Eddie Howe is now pondering whether to send the 19-year-old on loan once more or give him a chance to prove his worth on Tyneside. Speaking after last weekend's pre-season double header, the Newcastle manager admitted he was leaning towards the latter.
Still, the debate will rage on until Howe makes a decision. As such, Chronicle Live 's Newcastle United correspondents have offered their verdicts on whether Anderson should stay beyond the summer or earn first-team minutes elsewhere.
