Newcastle United want to offer England Under-18 left-back Adam Wilson a professional deal.

After impressing in the club’s Academy and making some appearances in the Under-23 side, Newcastle could hand Wilson a two-year contract as they look to revamp their development squad for next season.

Wilson was recently called up to the England Under-18 squad for the clutch of friendly games taking place at St George’s Park over the international break.

The left-sided player, who has also played further up the field, signed schoolboy terms with United in 2016 and has gone from strength to strength.

First team boss Rafa Benitez is expected to take a closer look at the second string and Academy once Newcastle’s place in the Premier League is secured.

Benitez said recently: “If you can bring players from the Academy that can guarantee some passion, better ways, and to save money from a transfer fee.

“It’s really important to do that.”

Newcastle have handed fresh deals to Under-23 regulars Luke Charman and Cal Roberts recently but released a host of reserve team players to pave the way for new talent.

And it is believed that United see Wilson as a big part of that next phase of development in the next couple of years.
