Rafa Benitez has hinted that Rolando Aarons may still have a future with Newcastle, insisting his loan move to Czech side Slovan Liberec will give the youngster the chance to improve.
The 22-year-old was omitted from Newcastle's Premier League squad for the upcoming season and, despite being offered to other clubs on loan, remained at the club following the closure of most transfer windows, leaving the winger with no choice but to move to Slovan Liberec.
When was asked by the Newcastle Chronicle whether Aarons has a future at St James's Park, Benitez said: “When you analyse his position, we have Kenedy doing as well as he was last season, you still have Atsu, Ritchie and Murphy too, so to have a young player like Rolando he was not playing too much, afterwards he was injured.
