Newcastle United have signed Danish teenager Elias Fritjof SÃ¸rensen on a scholarship.

The 16-year-old forward became HB KÃ¸ge's youngest ever debutant when he came off the bench in a Danish first division game against Silkeborg IF last season, and has made a total of five appearances for the Svanerne (the Swans), all as a substitute.

He has represented his country at under-17 level and, having been regularly involved at under-17 level for HB KÃ¸ge last term, will be based at United's Little Benton Academy.

"It's a big, big moment for me and I'm very glad to sign with this Club," said SÃ¸rensen, who will turn 17 next month.

"I hope I'll progress as quickly as possible but first, I will concentrate on developing as a player.

"I'm still very young but I have high hopes for the future."
