De Jong crock ends Newcastle loan plans for Armstrong

Newcastle United are refusing loan offers for striker Adam Armstrong.

The Daily Mail says Newcastle are rejecting approaches for England U18 striker Armstrong following Siem de Jong's injury.

Championship clubs have made enquiries about taking 17-year-old prospect Armstrong on loan next week.

But Newcastle are reluctant to let him go with De Jong out until January with a torn thigh muscle.

Armstrong was watched by a host of scouts in midweek as he scored twice on his England U18s debut in their 4-1 defeat of Holland.
