Dujuan 'Whisper' Richards happy with Newcastle trials

Newcastle United trialist Dujuan 'Whisper' Richards has been impressing coaches with his ability.

The youngster, who is hoping to make his international debut with Jamaica this month, had a two-week trial with the Magpies.

The 17-year-old will be waiting to hear if he did enough to secure a permanent move to the Premier League club's academy.

Richards stated to Chronicle Live: "All I can say is I think did well and I was able to be seen by all the coaches. I am grateful for the opportunity and I believe it could be a good fit.

"I'm very pleased with how the trial went, and I believe my performance was impressive enough. I learned about their methods, their vision for the club and where they want to be.

"I know they are a very ambitious club and want to be playing in the Champions League. I am expecting to hear positively from the club."
