It seems there’s little that can stop Newcastle United forward Adam Armstrong right now.
With the Toon’s academy having not produced anyone of note in recent years, the young forward has a burgeoning reputation as one of the most promising talents in the country following his thoroughly successful loan spell with Coventry last season.
Currently impressing on loan with Barnsley, the 19-year-old saw his stock rise even higher after notching an incredible hat-trick for England U20 against Nigeria.
Though it’s vitally important not to put too much pressure on his shoulders at such a young age, Armstrong is proving lethal at any level he’s played at thus far and certainly one to get Toon tongues wagging.

Having played an instrumental role in helping the young Lions roar, the talented teen has taken to Twitter to express his delight at their 8-1 win, moving to praise his teammates.
The future is bright for Newcastle if Armstrong continues such form.
