After Elliot Anderson, Newcastle also exploring exit for another ‘underrated’ homegrown player

Having sold Elliot Anderson to solve their PSR concerns, Newcastle United are also considering an exit for a midfielder who played 46 times last season.

Right now, Eddie Howe and his st෴aff will likely just be taking stock after a whirlwind 48 hours or so for the club.

In some regards, Newcastle pulled it off – they were able to reportedly recoup over £60m in player sales before the deadliꦓne, easing any concerns of a point deduction.

However, Newcastle’s fire-sale of their exciting youngsters last weekend left little room for admiration♌.

Yes, the club achieved good fees for both Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson, but they wer𝓡en’t players Newcastle wanted tꦕo lose.

Both could have been an integral part of the club’s future ဣunder Howe, but will instead now thrive for their Premier League rivals.

That being said, any further departu🌟res this summer will be st🃏rictly on Newcastle’s terms.

And to that end, it still seems as if several players could leave Tynesid🅘e this summer, paving the way for a small squad rebuild. 

Newcastle exploring exit for Sean Longstaff who has one-year left on his contract

Martin Dubravka, Ryan Fraser and Isaac Hayden seem three obvious candidates to leave, players now surplu🔜s to requirements.

However, it may be a little more surprising for Newcastle fans to hear report that the club have been actively exploring an exit for Sean Longstaff.

Longstaff, who is now 26-years-old, made 46 appearances for Howe last season, and was an important player amid all of the injuriꦜes the club suffered.

But with one-year left on his deal, Newcastle could be open to a departure for the ‘underrated‘ midfielder. 

The report states that no definite decision has been made on Longstaff’s future, which is the same for Callum Wilson, and Kieran Trippier, who ar♚e also enterin💜g the final year of their contract.

Evidently there’s a lot to sort for Newcastle, who will just be immediately relieved that they have avoided a potential point d🍃eduction.

But the꧋ dust will need to settle quickly, and Howe and his recruitment team will be aware that a considerable proportion of the summ♔er has already elapsed.

That being said, Newcastle haven’t given up on signing an🍷 ‘electric’𒀰 Premier League forward this summer.
