Newcastle boss Pardew excited by Rolando Aarons form

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is delighted with the preseason form of young winger Rolando Aarons.

Victory over Schalke included goals from Emmanuel Riviere, Aarons and France international Remy Cabella.

But it was 18-year-old Aarons - a Jamaican winger who also qualifies for England - who stole the show.

"The real highlight of pre-season has been Rolando and he was terrific again," Pardew said.

"It's nice to see a young player really pushing and I thought he caused real problems for Schalke - long may that continue."
