Longstaff 'needs the move' but 'Leeds' offer is too low' - Anderson

Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff has caught the eye of newly promoted Leeds, but will he leave this summer?
The 27-year-old has made 214 senior appearances for the club, but played just 787 minutes in the Premier League last season after mainly coming on as a substitute.
"Longstaff seems to have fallen out of favour at Newcastle," said former Magpies defender John Anderson on BBC Radio Newcastle. "Even when he wasn't starting, Eddie Howe would always bring him on in games but since January he has fallen down the pecking order.
"He wasn't getting as much game time as he would have to wanted either, so he needs the move because he needs to be playing football.
"Everyone knows that Newcastle's midfield three picks itself now but the deal has got to be right.
"You can't let sentiment get in the way because if you want to progress and move forward then these decisions have to be made.
"I think Leeds' offer of £10m is too low and he is worth at least £15m if not more because of the experience he brings."
