Newcastle fans are thrilled by news on Sean Longstaff deal

Thu 31 October 2024 8:00, UK

Newcastle United fans are excited as news emerges the club are set to activate a one-year extension to Sean Longstaff’s contract.

According to The Telegraph, the Premier League giants are set to trigger Longstaff’s extension clause to keep him at the club until summer 2026 at a minimum.

The _-year-old has entered the final year of his existing contract at the club, but Eddie Howe wants to pin him down and secure his future before January.

The central midfielder would be free to negotiate with foreign clubs from January if a new deal isn’t reached, which is why the Magpies are looking to extend his deal.

Longstaff has worked his way through the ranks from Newcastle’s youth system, breaking into the first team in 2016.

The midfielder has been a regular in the team ever since, making 192 appearances in all competitions and scoring 16 goals.

Newcastle United fans are pleased by the Sean Longstaff decision

The news of Newcastle’s contract decision has been met with a positive reaction, with fans claiming it makes “complete sense” and is “good news.”

Club will still sell him in the summer, the deal only increases value and prevents him signing on a free 🤷🏼

The longstaff contract makes sense from a business sense tho it keeps his worth rather than letting him go for nothing. ( if they sell ) didn't miggy also refuse to leave.

It makes sense and gives us leverage on sale price before everyone blames Howe for loyalty! Need to get with the times, every penny counts and we must maximise profits across board

Makes sense all round, decent squad player and we don't have money to throw away on buying a backup midfielder to replace him

As back-up squad player, definitely yes. For 1st team starter No

Good. We are trying to qualify for Europe, and 4 of our 25 players will have to be homegrown at the club. He's a hod carrier and 100% worth having in the squad.

Longstaff is a perfect squad player. I don't the hate. Least he plays. Targett is never fit. Kelly is on 100k a week. Hayden is still taking a wage. Wilson is never fit
