The future is bright for Newcastle United youngster Trevan Sanusi.

The 17-year-old was the breakout star from Newcastle United’s pre-season preparations, with Trevan Sanusi dazzling supporters with his skill and trickery.

It became immediately clear why there is so much hype surrounding this youngster, and now he has made his professional debut.

Trevan Sanusi made his Toon debut on Sunday, as Newcastle United beat Bromley in the FA Cup. He came on in the second half, and got a rough introduction to senior football.

His potential is clear for all to see, and it will be exciting to follow his development in the coming years.

Whether Newcastle United will loan out Trevan Sanusi

For now, that development will continue on Tyneside.

That is because, according to the Athletic’s Chris Waugh, Sanusi is likely to stay at Newcastle United this month rather than be loaned out.

The Athletic add that Sanusi has been training with the Newcastle Under-21s more regularly than the senior squad in recent months, with the teenager challenged to earn more first-team opportunities.

Sanusi must learn from senior Newcastle United stars

With Harvey Barnes injured, there could be an opening for Sanusi to get more opportunities.

While the 27-year-old’s absence will not lead to Sanusi becoming a Premier League regular this season, it could at least allow the youngster to train with Eddie Howe’s squad and perhaps earn a place on the bench.

Not loaning him out is sensible. At his age, he will benefit more from training with Newcastle United’s first-team stars and learning from the likes of Anthony Gordon.

Howe wants Sanusi to work on his end product. That is vital for the winger to take his game to the next level.

Sanusi has been compared to Allan Saint-Maximin, which is very exciting, but the Newcastle youth star must ensure he becomes more than just a box of tricks. He needs to regularly get goals and assists, which is why he must look towards Gordon for inspiration.

The fact that Sanusi has already made his senior debut shows how highly rated he is at Newcastle United, and hopefully more opportunities come his way this season.
