Edgar has been told by his international boss Dale Mitchell he is under consideration for Canada's World Cup qualifying campaign but only if he is playing regular first-team football.

Keegan believes Edgar has a future at St James' Park but the youngster will certainly find it hard to hold down a spot in the first team with Habib Beye in world class form.

Edgar: "I've been on the bench, and that's good experience, but he wants me to play first-team football. That's fair enough.

"I think I've got what it takes to play there, so hopefully, I'll get my chance."
