Rolando Aarons was today facing potential heartbreak on deadline day.
The winger could narrowly miss out on a place in Steve Bruce’s final 25-man squad and be loaned out to the Championship.
The former Bristol City youngster has been looked at extensively by Bruce in pre-season and has commented on the increase in fitness work under the new gaffer.
Aarons has played the last two pre-season games at wing-back.
Despite the possibility of him leaving on loan, Aarons is convinced Bruce will bring some togetherness back to Newcastle United .
Aarons feels that Bruce has made a lot of progress in a short space of time and told The Chronicle: “When a new manager comes in everything lifts up a bit.
“The difference between the West Ham and Wolves game in China for instance, you seen a huge shift upwards.
“I think the manager has picked us up. He has worked us hard in the last two weeks and everybody is doing fantastic work now."
