Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is excited about the young talent now breaking through.

Pardew is cheered by the emergence of Newcastle's academy players Paul Dummett, Rolando Aarons and Adam Armstrong, the 17-year-old who started his first top-flight match on Boxing Day.

The Newcastle boss said: "I genuinely think that with Dummett, Aarons, Armstrong and Perez, we have four really outstanding young players and that is very, very difficult to get through at a Premier League club."
