Sean Longstaff has signed a deal with super agent Pini Zahavi and it is expected the high profile 'Mr Fix It' will attempt to broker a transfer away from Newcastle.
The 23-year-old has still not agreed a new contract with his hometown club despite breaking into the first-team two years ago.
Longstaff thought he was close to signing an improved deal before suffering a serious knee injury in March of 2019, after which talks stalled.
The midfielder’s form under Steve Bruce has not hit the heights of his breakthrough months, when Manchester United monitored his progress and there was talk of an England call-up.
