Newcastle United are mulling their options while taking a closer look at Elliot Anderson this summer, with West Bromwich Albion and Stoke City among the clubs rivalling Bristol Rovers for a loan move.
The Athletic reports the Gas are one of five clubs to enquire about the 19-year-old – a star of last season's promotion to League One – this summer. Luton Town and Sheffield Wednesday have also registered an interest, while reports elsewhere last month mooted Millwall as a possible suitor.
The Scotland under-21 international is a rising star on Tyneside after scoring seven goals and six assists in 20 starts for the Gas on loan in the second half of last season. The teenager was an inspiration after joining at the eleventh hour on deadline day and his contributions over such a short space of time have cemented his place in Rovers folklore, with his goal on the final day of the season clinching promotion.
