At Newcastle since 2009, Haris Vuckic has not played many games for the club.
He did however impress while on loan at Rangers last season, albeit at Scottish Championship level.
The 22-year-old will have come to the attention of new St. James Park boss Steve McClaren with a superb solo goal for the Newcastle U21s against their Ajax counterparts.
Picking the ball up 10 metres inside the opposition half, Vuckic went on a brilliant direct scything run through the Dutch team's defence.
