Newcastle United winger Elliot Anderson hopes to impress in preseason.

Anderson comes off a superb loan with Bristol Rovers.

He told the club's website: "I've just got to try and impress as much as I can really, and do my best," he says. "I've got to try and compete for a place around the team and see how I can do.

"I think not trying too hard to do that (is important) - just do your stuff, and see if you catch an eye, and work as hard as you can. It's kind of like a free hit - I'll give it my best shot, and if they think I need another season out (on loan), I'm happy to do that. Whatever's best for me.

"I'd say for me, probably playing games is the most important thing, to be honest - carrying on my run that I have, and just trying to keep striving. Hopefully that's here, or if it's somewhere else on loan, I'll be giving it my all."
