Newcastle United have received a £12 million bid but some say the Magpies could still find a use for Longstaff

It has been verified that a third bid of £12million - which included an initial £10m fee and £2m in add-ons - has in fact been rejected by Newcastle United, though there has been an indication that the player himself will not be quick to close the door on Leeds.

Longstaff has been the subject of multiple transfer bids from Leeds United this summer, with the latest worth £10m plus £2m in add-ons. Longstaff has entered the final year of his contract at St James’ Park and would be available to leave on a free transfer next summer if he does not sign a new deal at his boyhood club.
