Newcastle right back DeAndre Yedlin is enjoying the chance of playing so many games in the Championship for the Magpies this season.
The American international has featured in six matches so far this campaign. Although he did get game time whilst on loan at Sunderland last year, he did struggle to play matches when he originally moved to Tottenham in 2014. The 23 year old believes working under Rafa Benitez and also playing regularly at Championship level will help develop his game. He is quoted by the Shields Gazette as saying:
“You want that, especially as a younger player. It’s great, as there is so many games and so many opportunities to play. It’s a great move for me to come here. Playing under Rafa has been unbelievable.”
With Vurnon Anita returning to the starting eleven after suspension against Rotherham United last time out, Yedlin has a fight on his hands to regain his place at full back for the next league game tomorrow against Brentford. After a good start to his time at Newcastle though, Rafa may find it hard to keep him out of the side for too long
