Rolando Aarons is yet to hear from Newcastle United about a new deal.
The Daily Mail says Aarons and United are yet to sit down to discuss an improvement to his first professional deal, signed only in April and set to expire in the summer of 2016.
The player's representatives are surprised by the delay and hope the 19-year-old will be rewarded for his senior breakthrough and involvement in the England Under 20 set-up, where he has won an admirer in Roy Hodgson.
Manchester City and Liverpool are interested in Aarons.
