The 19-year-old joined Newcastle’s Under-21s side on a free transfer in October following his release from West Ham in the summer. The former England Under-17 international has been a regular for The Magpies’ second string side since a successful trial saw him handed a contract until the end of the 2022-23 season.

Diallo was pictured in first-team training at Newcastle’s new-look Darsley Park training centre alongside new signings Anthony Gordon and another former West Ham youngster Harrison Ashby. Under-21s players Jamie and Lewis Miley also trained with the first-team ahead of Saturday’s Premier League trip to Bournemouth (5:30pm kick-off).

Diallo is one of several teenage signings The Magpies have made so far this season as he followed Alex Murphy, Jordan Hackett, Charlie McArthur and Jude Smith through the door prior to Garang Kuol’s arrival in January.
