Longstaff set for £15m Leeds move
- Published
Midfielder Sean Longstaff is set for a move to Leeds United that would end an 18-year association with boyhood club Newcastle.
The deal is expected to concluded for a guaranteed £12m - plus £3m in potential add-ons - with the 27-year-old understood to be signing a four-year contract at Elland Road.
Longstaff joined the Magpies aged nine and made his debut for them in 2018, having initially gained experience on loan at Kilmarnock and Blackpool.
He has made 214 appearances for Newcastle, scoring 16 goals.
If a deal is completed in time, Longstaff could appear in Saturday's pre-season friendly against Manchester United in Stockholm on Saturday.
He will become Leeds' fifth signing this summer following the arrivals of defenders Sebastiaan Bornauw, Jaka Bijol and Gabriel Gudmundsson, as well as German forward Lukas Nmecha.
Are you happy with this expected signing? And what do Leeds need to do next in the transfer market?
