Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff has been nominated for the Premier League player of the month award.
Manager Rafael Benitez believes that the young midfielder should win the award.
Speaking to Chronicle Live, Benitez said: “We are talking about a young player from our system – not from the Premier League. He has played well against Chelsea and all these times. You have to give him credit, not just for playing well, but the way he is handling the situation. Hopefully, he wins the award. I think he has to win it because when you compare him with the other players this is just a young lad.
