Leeds United have reached an agreement in principle to sign midfielder Sean Longstaff from Newcastle United for an upfront £12 million, with a further £3 million payable in performance-related add-ons. The 27-year-old, who is in the final 12 months of his Newcastle contract, is expected to undergo a medical shortly, with personal terms already in place. Longstaff brings 171 Premier League appearances to Elland Road, experience the newly promoted club views as pivotal for its return to the top flight. Newcastle activated a one-year extension last season to avoid losing their academy graduate on a free transfer, but opted to cash in after limited playing time. Separately, Newcastle confirmed the signing of England international midfielder Jordan Nobbs following her departure from Aston Villa, signalling continued squad reshaping across the club’s men’s and women’s teams.
