**Newcastle correspondent [Lee Ryder](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-note-book-zapata-23499140) has stated that the club have agreed a deal with young forward Dylan Stephenson.**

### The Lowdown: ‘Big news’

Labelled as [‘hard-working’](https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/winskill-reacts-as-young-magpies-march-into-fa-youth-cup-fifth-round/) by academy manager Neil Winskill, the teenager has impressed playing for the club’s youth teams over recent years.

The 19-year-old has scored [32](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dylan-stephenson/leistungsdaten/spieler/654152) times in total for Newcastle’s under-18s and under-23s, with [11](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dylan-stephenson/leistungsdaten/spieler/654152) of those coming in 2021/22.

[Reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/dylan-stephenson-contract-premier-league/) emerged in the week that the centre-forward was set to pen a new deal at St James’ Park, something that Liam Kennedy described as ‘big news’.

### The Latest: Ryder’s claim on Stephenson

Ryder shared a Newcastle notebook on [The Chronicle](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-note-book-zapata-23499140) on Saturday morning, addressing multiple Magpies updates.

One of those focused on discussions over new deals, with the journalist admitting that a deal for Stephenson has been agreed. The youngster looks set for a loan deal away from the club next season, with Hartlepool a destination already mentioned.

### The Verdict: Exciting

Stephenson is clearly an exciting young talent, so knowing that he is going to commit his future to Newcastle is good news.

While the club now have the [option to splash the cash](https://www.forbes.com/sites/steveprice/2021/12/15/newcastle-united-now-have-spending-power-the-next-few-games-will-show-how-to-spend-it/) in the summer transfer window following a change of ownership, it is positive that they still want to keep hold of their best young assets.

Hopefully Stephenson will continue to score goals for fun next season, which could result in a first-team breakthrough at St James’ Park.
