Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic hopes for second crack at the Premier League after securing promotion

Aleksandar Mitrovic is determined to test himself in the Premier League with Newcastle once again as he hopes for a future on Tyneside.

The 22-year-old Serbia international has struggled to win a regular place at St James' Park since his £14.5million arrival from Belgian club Anderlecht during the summer of 2015, and played a largely peripheral role in the club's return to the top flight after a single season in exile.

Manager Rafael Benitez will hope to carry out another significant close-season overhaul of his squad to prepare it for life back in the big time, and Mitrovic wants to be a part of it.
