Newcastle United defender Kevin Mbabu is hoping to win a new contract.

Mbabu's contract at Newcastle runs out at the end of the season but he is determined to extend his stay at the club.

The 20 year-old told the Evening Chronicle: “Maybe I will be on the bench in the next few weeks.

“But I am working hard every day.

“I want to show the manager what I can do and I want a chance. I'm ready."
