Newcastle United have a clutch of talented young players on the books these days.
While Newcastle United supporters may not see much of them during what remains of the season considering the high stakes involved in the battle for Champions League qualification, it’s promising to know they are there.

Indeed, Eddie Howe’s side will be on some kind of European adventure next season, it’s just the competition that has yet to have been decided.
Newcastle have qualified for the Conference League and while they do have the chance to get into the Champions League, there’s going to be a strain on the squad either way.
The Newcastle United manager saw his squad decimated by injuries during the last season in which his team were playing European football, so having a raft of promising young players to help step in will obviously help.
One of those is young defender, Leo Shahar.

Now, journalist Joel Bland has shared some further insight from the Newcastle United training ground while posting on social media platform X.
According to Bland, the full-back continues to impress the Newcastle United coaching staff while being put through his paces with the senior side.

Newcastle United’s best young players
There is an exciting generation of youngsters developing at Newcastle.
Australian international Garang Kuol has been in fine form for the U21s this season, scoring five goals in 11 outings.
Alfie Harrison is racking up the assists for Newcastle U21s too, with seven in 20 games.
They, along with Shahar, could feasibly get more chances next season given there will be more games on the calendar.
Hopefully, they can step.
