Leeds Nears £12m Deal for Sean Longstaff

Leeds United are close to signing Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff after Newcastle accepted a third offer worth £10 million plus £2 million in add-ons, with personal terms already agreed. Longstaff, who has one year left on his contract and limited recent playing time, is set to bring Premier League experience to Leeds as they return to the top flight. The transfer is considered pure profit for Newcastle under financial regulations because of Longstaff's academy background. Newcastle's squad overhaul also includes the imminent £55 million signing of Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest. Leeds have made several overseas signings to strengthen their squad and aim to avoid immediate relegation. If completed, Longstaff's arrival is expected to bolster Leeds' midfield for their Premier League campaign.
