Enthusiast in EU with a tram in development (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amateur

'enthusiast' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'eu with a tram in development' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'in development' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'tram'='atram'
'eu' after 'atram' is 'atrameu'.
'atrameu' is an anagram of 'AMATEUR'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for amateur that I've seen before include "A non-professional sportsman" , "One is not professional" , "Unpaid (sportsman}" , "Non-pro" , "Dilettante: buff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
