Newcastle United could facilitate loan moves for Matty Longstaff and Elliot Anderson this summer.
According to The Athletic, the Magpies remain admirers of Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury and apparently a new move for him could depend on what happens with the Longstaff brothers.
It’s explained that Sean is keen to establish himself in 2021/22, while Matty – deprived of opportunities throughout 2020/21 – is likely to push for first-team football elsewhere.
It’s then stated that Anderson could also be sent out on loan in order to get some much needed experience playing senior football.
Steve Bruce has talked up both players in the past, but continually overlooked both players during the club’s Premier League run-in.
Longstaff made his first-team debut last season, but this term he got just five games, and Anderson made just two cameo appearances.
There was plenty of clamour from fans for both to play more, but Bruce was inclined to call on his more experienced players.
Both need to play
This is a crucial time for both Matty and Anderson.
They are two great young talents, but there are being done no favours at all at the moment.
Either Bruce bloods them in his starting XI, which is probably unlikely, or they are sanctioned loan exits.
It’s time for them both to gain experience in senior football.
