The 21-year-old was the star of the show as the Magpies left it late to see off Birmingham at St James' Park last weekend.His makeshift partnership with emergency left-back Charles N'Zogbia has proved a major bonus for Allardyce so far this season.
Allardyce: "James is a hugely experienced Premier League player now at 21 - and he can only get better from here.
"Energy is massive in the Premier League today - and with the energy and experienced quality he has got, he really caused most of the problems for Birmingham.
"Charles N'Zogbia linking up with him was a very strong partnership from our point of view, in terms of creating a lot of opportunities."
