Newcastle United fans have called for Elias Sorensen to be put into the first-team after he scored for their development side again yesterday.

Sorensen has scored frequently for Newcastle at under-23 level over the past two seasons, when he hasn’t been out on loan.

And the youngster was on target yet again yesterday, as Newcastle cruised to success over Swansea City.

With Joelinton struggling so badly there are now numerous calls for Sorensen to be given a chance by Steve Bruce on social media website Twitter.

The problem for Sorensen is that when he has been exposed to senior football before he has failed to impress.

The Dane has struggled for game time at both Blackpool and Carlisle United on loan spells, so throwing him into Premier League action could be a big risk.

However, Joelinton still has just one goal to his name in the Premier League, and really seems to be struggling to find any kind of form, so changes may need to be made up-front.

Newcastle are currently in 12th place in the Premier League table, seven points above the drop zone.
