Sean Longstaff, a midfield player for Newcastle, is apparently a target for Leeds United to sign during the next summer transfer window.
Having won 12 of their previous 13 games, Daniel Farke’s team is presently third in the Championship and has a game in hand over Ipswich Town, who are in second place.

They can go back into second place, and possibly even first place, if they defeat Millwall on Sunday afternoon at Elland Road, based on goal differential.
The closer the summer window draws nearer, the more transfer rumors circulate, given the club’s excellent chances of earning possible automatic promotion back up to the Premier League.
If Farke’s team is successful in winning promotion back to the Premier League, they may try to sign Newcastle midfielder Longstaff, according to a report from the Sunday Mirror via Sports View.
With just over a year left on his deal, the 26-year-old England international would bring a wealth of experience to a Leeds team that has just been promoted. Throughout his career, he has played in 135 Premier League games.
According to the article, if Newcastle were willing to sell, they would ask for about £15 million for Longstaff.
Leeds may tie the Foxes at the top of the standings with a game remaining when Leicester City plays Chelsea in the FA Cup on Sunday.
