The 18-year old is following in the footsteps of Shola Ameobi and Michael Chopra by being blooded in the first team at an early age, and featured as a substitute in the Magpies Premiership match at Fratton Park on Saturday.

The kid has won rave reviews this season in the Reserve side, and has had Liverpool scouts on his trail. Which has spurred Newcastle into action with a long term deal.

Carroll's Peter Harrison: "Andrew has been offered a new four-year contract.

"He is delighted with the way things have been going and obviously the club feel the same.

"He has been doing really well and he is looking forward to signing an extension."
