Newcastle United may look to loan out highly-rated youngster Jay Turner-Cooke next month.
The 18-year-old, who was signed from rivals Sunderland 18 months ago, is well regarded by coaching staff and manager Eddie Howe who described him as 'a real talent'.
He travelled on the first team squad's trip to Saudi Arabia, played against Al Hilal and figured in Saturday's 2-1 friendly win over Rayo Vallecano.
As Newcastle concentrate on cementing their place among Champions League contenders and go for extended runs in the Carabao and FA Cups, regular playing opportunities for Howe's youngsters could be limited.
