Leeds United are allegedly interested in signing Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff during the forthcoming summer transfer window.
Daniel Farke’s side is presently third in the Championship, but they have a game in hand over second-place Ipswich Town after winning 12 of their last 13 games.
A win over Millwall at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon will propel them back into second position, and maybe top place depending on goal differential.
With the club in strong contention for automatic promotion back to the Premier League, transfer speculation has increased as the summer window approaches.
According to the Sunday Mirror via Sports View, Farke’s team may make a move for Newcastle midfielder Longstaff if they win promotion back to the Premier League.
The 26-year-old has just over a year left on his contract and would bring a wealth of experience to a freshly promoted Leeds side, having played 135 Premier League games in his career.
According to the article, if Newcastle were to sell Longstaff, they would want for roughly £15 million.
With Leicester City playing Chelsea in the FA Cup on Sunday, Leeds could draw level at the top of the standings, with the Foxes having a game in hand.
