Everton boss Rafa Benitez monitoring the situation of Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff

Everton manager Rafa Benitez is monitoring the situation of Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff, according to The Athletic.

The Magpies have reached an agreement with Arsenal for the permanent signing of Joe Willock, and Longstaff’s Newcastle future will now come into question as a result.

Benitez is eyeing a potential reunion at Goodison Park, with the Spaniard keen on bolstering his options in the middle of the park.

The imminent arrival of Willock will further deal a blow on Longstaff’s playing opportunities under Toons boss Steve Bruce, and he is likely to jump at the chance to play under Benitez again.
