Jetro Willems has said on Twitter that reported Arsenal, Everton and West Ham United target Matty Longstaff is the most talented player at Newcastle United.

Longstaff is out of contract at Newcastle at the end of the season, and has been linked with moves away from the Magpies.

According to TEAMtalk, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton and David Moyes’s West Ham are interested in securing the services of the 20-year-old midfielder.

Willems, who can operate as a left-back or as a left wing-back, has named the England Under-20 international as the most talented player at Newcastle.

The 26-year-old Netherlands international moved to Newcastle on a season-long loan deal from German club Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2019, but he suffered a season-ending knee injury back in January.
