The 20-year-old was drafted into Alan Pardew's first team at the end of last season after spells on loan at Carlisle, Sheffield Wednesday and MK Dons.

Tavernier's current deal expires this summer and, while he has been offered a new deal, he has yet to sign extended terms.

James Tavernier: "I want to stay at Newcastle - it's obviously a massive club.

"At the moment it's between the club, myself and my agent, but I want to be here.

"My main aim is to have a really good pre-season and make sure the manager knows that I'm playing well and hopefully I can keep myself in his thinking for next season.

"Obviously there's going to be more games next season with the Europa League and hopefully that means more chances for all of us in the squad."
