Aleksandar Mitrovic struggled for game time at Newcastle United last season.
Mitrovic has been linked with a move away from Newcastle this summer, after struggling to make much of an impact last term.
The Serbian made just 11 starts in the Championship, as the Magpies earned promotion.
However, Mitrovic has played a key role over pre-season for Newcastle – which suggests that Rafael Benitez may see the target-man as a starter in the upcoming season.
Mitrovic is still a very popular figure at St. James’ Park, but when asked about his future – the 22-year-old suggested that things were still up in the air.
“At the moment, Dwight [Gayle] and I are here and we’re trying to do our best every game,” he said. “We’ll see what happens at the end of the transfer window.”
Mitrovic and Gayle offer very different sets of qualities, and both could have a role to play as Newcastle look to compete back in the Premier League.
Newcastle start their Premier League campaign in two weekends’ time, when they take on Tottenham Hotspur at St. James’ Park.
