Elias Sorensen is really struggling since leaving Newcastle United on loan.
It’s been a rough introduction to senior football for Newcastle United’s Elias Sorensen.
The young Danish hitman, who has 21 goals for the Magpies’ youth side this season, joined Blackpool on a short-term loan last month.
But Sorensen is already finding it hard to play for the League One outfit.
He has managed slightly more than 30 minutes of football for Blackpool and wasn’t even named on the bench this past weekend – despite travelling and warming up in their 0-0 draw at Charlton Athletic.
Many Newcastle fans didn’t want Rafael Benitez to loan him out in the first place, such was his form with the Under 23s, and here’s how supporters of the St James’s Park side have reacted to his low-profile loan so far.
The 19-year-old’s struggles illustrate that it doesn’t really mean much if you’re a prolific goalscorer at youth level.
The fact that the Newcastle youngster is finding it very difficult to get minutes for a League One side proves as much.
Sorensen might or might not be the next big thing on Tyneside, but there is certainly plenty of work to be done if he is to be ready for Premier League games.
And the sad reality is that he may never be ready.
