Talented Newcastle United youngster Elias Sorensen is eager to break into the Magpies first team and impress at St James’ Park.

The 18-year-old Dane joined the Magpies during the summer of 2016 from HB Koge and has progressed from the Academy ranks into the Under-23 set up on Tyneside.

But the forward, who has netted six times in his last five matches, dreams of breaking into the Newcastle first team and proving to Rafa Benitez that he already has a ready-made goal-scorer within the United ranks.

“St James’ Park is where I want to score. It would be a big deal,” Sorensen told Danish publication Ekstra Bladet.

“Football means so much to people here. I seriously believe that all Newcastle people are Newcastle fans.

“It is sold out, no matter what match it is. Football is everything in Newcastle.

“It is here in Newcastle that I want to start my career and then we have to see what happens next.

“But it’s a good club in a good city. It’s not too big, not too small. It’s just right.”

Having first moved to Tyneside as a 16-year-old, it took Sorensen some time to adapt to a new country and unfamiliar surroundings.

But he insists he is now settled in the area and is keen to prove he deserves a first-team opportunity with Newcastle.

“It was hard at first, of course. You are away from family and friends so the first months I was somewhat lonely,” Sorensen added.

“But then I got to know my team-mates better and got better at English, and that helped. Now there are more people I’m really talking to and people are good here so it’s going really well.”

“It came to my mind that this is my life now. That’s what I want to live for, that’s how I want to earn my money. That’s what I want. I’ve figured out what it takes and I do it.”
