Eddie Howe’s Next Steps for Trevan Sanusi Following His Senior Newcastle United Debut – Chris Waugh
Newcastle United's Trevan Sanusi: A Star in the Making
The 17-year-old Trevan Sanusi emerged as a breakout star during Newcastle United’s pre-season preparations, impressing fans with his skill and flair.
His talent quickly became evident, justifying the growing hype around him.
On Sunday, he made his professional debut for Newcastle in their FA Cup victory against Bromley, coming on in the second half and experiencing a challenging introduction to senior football.
Sanusi’s potential is undeniable, and his progress promises to be an exciting journey to follow. For now, his development will continue at Newcastle rather than through a loan move.
According to Chris Waugh of The Athletic, the club plans to keep the young winger on Tyneside this month.
Recently, Sanusi has been training more frequently with the Under-21s than the senior squad, with the aim of earning further first-team opportunities.
With Harvey Barnes currently sidelined due to injury, Sanusi may have a chance to feature more prominently.
Although Barnes’ absence is unlikely to make Sanusi a Premier League regular this season, it could allow him to train with Eddie Howe’s squad and potentially secure a spot on the bench.
The decision to keep Sanusi at the club seems logical.
At his age, he stands to gain more from training alongside Newcastle’s first-team players and learning from experienced stars like Anthony Gordon.
Howe is keen for Sanusi to refine his end product, a crucial area for the young winger to elevate his game.
Often compared to Allan Saint-Maximin, Sanusi’s skill set is exciting, but he must strive to become more than just a flair player.
To reach the next level, he needs to deliver consistent goals and assists, looking to Gordon as a role model for achieving this balance.
Sanusi’s senior debut highlights the high regard in which he is held at Newcastle United.
With determination and focus, he could secure further opportunities this season, making him a prospect worth watching closely.
