One thing Newcastle United have done well since the takeover is recruit young players like Tino Livramento to develop for the future.

Since Dan Ashworth arrived at Newcastle there has been a clear focus to find hot prospects to develop into future stars.

There has been a mix of recruits who are for development such as Garang Kuol and Yankuba Minteh, and others who are young but knocking on Eddie Howe‘s door for a first-team place already like Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento.

Newcastle expect Tino Livramento to be worth £90m in a few years

Now inews has reported that Newcastle staff have high hopes for Livramento and see the £32million coup as a superb piece of business.

The report suggests that insiders feel that Livramento could easily triple in value in the next few years at Newcastle such is his vast potential.

We’ve only had a brief look at the 20-year-old in action when he was brought on as a right winger in the Manchester City defeat, but all signs point towards a big future for him.

He now has the opportunity to learn from the best in Kieran Trippier and to add his teachings to his outstanding raw potential.

Where will Livramento play for Howe this season?

I admit that I found the move a strange one when we signed Livramento. Not because I don’t think he’s a good player, but right-back didn’t seem like an area we needed to strengthen this summer.

However, when a player with that much potential becomes available I guess you don’t wait around hoping the chance will come up again.

It’s going to be interesting to see how Eddie Howe uses Livramento this season and whether the right-back can comfortably cover other positions.
