Reading-born defender Charlie Wiggett joined Newcastle United from Chelsea this summer and is looking to make the step up to under-23 football with the Magpies.
The teenage centre-back signed his first professional contract for Chelsea in the summer of 2019 after joining the Blues' Academy from Swindon Town.
A regular at under-18 level last term, he has captained Chelsea at several age groups before arriving at St. James' Park in June.
