Chris Hughton: "The decision's not 100 per cent been made.

"With Fraser Forster last season, there was a train of thought that we would have been better off keeping him here because he's a quality, young goalkeeper.

"Amongst what we have here, we also have to think about player development, and young players come into that one.

"That's where we will be with Nile. We haven't catergorically made a decision on whether we'll loan him out or not.

"If we feel we're very strong in that position, and there are the right possibilities to loan him out, that's something we'll consider.

"He could certainly stay here and play a part, as he did last season, but we also have to think about his development, and whether he'll get the amount of football he needs.

"He's still only 19 years of age. His development is important for us. You can improve players by giving them opportunities here, or, at some stage of the season, allowing them to have the amount of football they need elsewhere."
