Leicester City are reportedly ready to launch a bid to sign a Newcastle United player who Harvey Barnes has previously labelled ‘underrated’.
Newcastle United are likely to face the prospect of offloading a few first-team players this summer as they look to remain on the right side of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
While key stars such as Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes look likely to remain at St James’ Park, others could head out the door.
That includes Sean Longstaff, who continued to play a key role under Eddie Howe last season. The midfielder racked up a total of 46 appearances in all competitions, netting eight times and providing two assists.
But with Longstaff heading into the final year of his contract at Newcastle, Leicester City are reportedly ready to test the Magpies’ resolve.
