Newcastle fullback Trippier: Anderson has so much potential

Newcastle United right-back Kieran Trippier has hailed youngster Elliot Anderson.

The playmaker was given a chance to show what he can do in a recent win over Nottingham Forest.

Anderson had a goal disallowed in the game and was a constant threat when he was on the pitch.

Speaking after his team's 2-1 win on Friday, Trippier said: "Do you know what? We have a lot of talks, me and Elliot.

"He's a young lad with so much potential, I really mean that. It's crazy really how good he is. He just needs to be patient and keep working hard as he's been doing.

"I thought he was unbelievable in the second half when he came on. He's got a massive future ahead of him, he just has to keep being patient."
