Hands off Nile Ranger says Hughton

Oct 31 2009

by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle

CHRIS HUGHTON has warned would-be January bidders for Nile Ranger that the teenage striker's future is on Tyneside. The 18-year-old has impressed this season – and the Chronicle understands that big-spending Manchester City are monitoring the England Under-19’s progress this season, despite the fact he is yet to net a senior goal for the Magpies. Hughton is desperate to keep Ranger’s feet on the ground this season and regards him as an important player for the future at St James’s Park. Hughton, who must decide whether to hand Ranger a start against Sheffield United on Monday night, told the Chronicle: “It’s normal that people talk about players being linked with clubs on the football circuit. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT “I know of no official approach from anybody about Nile so far. “Nile’s a young lad who is learning all of the time and his future is here. “During his time with the first team this season he has been making good contributions. “But he is still very young. He is making progress and it’s very much a case of learning his trade. “Last season he did ever so well in the reserves and subsequently ended up with the first-team group. “He’s worked his way up to the first team and he’s here on merit.”
